HSE spokeswoman Annette Hall said: "Sadly the contractors involved in this [the Claxton Engineering project] were not really able, they didn’t have the competency to take on a large-scale engineering project like this one."

Asked whether she was satisfied with the sentences handed out by a judge at the Old Bailey yesterday, Ms Hall replied: "Sentencing is obviously a matter for the judge.

"I'm pleased to have received the convictions.

"It's been a long-running case, it's been a complex investigation and I'm satisfied that we've got convictions and messages are out there about the importance of planning in future."

Brothers Daniel and Thomas Hazleton, and Peter Johnson, all from Stanton, and Adam Taylor, from Rickinghall, died at the Claxton Engineering site in January 2011.

HSE spokeswoman Annette Hall said: "It was a major engineering project building significant foundations for a new pressure test facility at Claxtons and that involved planning how they were going to build these foundations.

"At no point during the whole planning process did the people who were involved in it engage with the challenges involved in it and put the safety measures in place.

"What that meant was that these four guys, very sadly, were working within a steel structure, trying to build it before concrete was poured onto it, and the structure collapsed on them."
