The BBC is reporting that an investigation is underway following an incident at Cottam Power Station, which is being demolished by Brown and Mason.
Cottam Power Station, near Retford in Nottinghamshire, closed on 30 September 2019 with its demolition ongoing.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) confirmed on Friday it deployed an ambulance and three paramedics to the site after being called at 09:03 GMT on 10 February, and a patient was subsequently airlifted to Sheffield Northern General Hospital.
A spokesperson for Brown & Mason Ltd said their worker “is being monitored by medical professionals and a full investigation is being carried out to understand the incident”.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) had been notified of the incident, the demolition firm added.
NFDC member company Brown and Mason is widely regarded as a leader in power station demolition. But this is not the first incident on one of their power station sites.
The company was fined £1.0 million following the death of worker Gary Robertson in 2019 who was killed while working at Longannet Power Station in Fife, Scotland.
