In a disturbing incident, three companies have collectively been fined £420,000 following an incident at the Moonfleet Manor hotel construction site in Weymouth, Dorset, where a three-year-old child suffered a fractured skull after being struck by a falling slate tile.

The incident occurred on June 13, 2019, as the child was leaving the hotel with her father and older brother after a swimming lesson. The slate, which fell approximately five meters from the hotel roof, led to the child receiving first aid on-site before being hospitalised. She was placed in an induced coma for stabilisation and underwent a two-hour operation to remove slate fragments from her head.
