Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have successfully prosecuted a housing society and a plumber following a boiler explosion that killed a tenant. Prosecution proceedings were started after tenant Christine Goodall, 65, was killed at her home in Gloucestershire in 2007 when an incorrectly decommissioned boiler exploded. The fatal incident occurred when Mrs Goodall lit a fire for the first time since the back boiler had been decommissioned in 1999.
