A scaffolder, James Cranswick, 26, falls about 20 feet after going through an “invisible” skylight at a warehouse in Keighley, West Yorkshire, in January 2025, according to reports. He is described as working at the site while installing temporary scaffolding edge protection when the incident occurs and he plunges to the ground.
Separate coverage also states that fines are imposed on companies connected to the work, totalling £80,000, following the incident. The reporting describes the event as a serious workplace fall involving a roof opening or skylight that was not apparent to the worker at the time.
Across the available accounts, the focus remains on the circumstances of the fall during scaffolding-related installation at the warehouse and on subsequent penalties for the companies involved. The sources do not provide additional details in the material provided about the full investigation findings, including specific safety breaches or whether changes are mandated by regulators beyond the reported fines.
