Bath tub firm boss fined for safety breach
Seamus McDonald, of Jet 2 Spa’s, Durham Place, Scarborough, a manufacturer of Jacuzzi bath tubs, was prosecuted by North Yorkshire Fire Authority for safety breaches after an employee living on the first floor of the premises was lucky to escape after a fire on May 3, 2013.
