Food Company Fined £360,000 After Worker Loses Four Fingers in English
In a shocking incident, a food company has been slapped with a massive fine of £360,000 after a worker suffered a gruesome injury, losing four fingers while operating a machine at its English facility.
According to reports, the 42-year-old employee was operating a meat processing machine at the company’s factory in Chorley, Lancashire, when the accident occurred. The worker’s fingers became trapped in the machine, resulting in severe injuries that required emergency surgery.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that the company had failed to provide adequate training to its employees on the safe operation of the machine, despite repeated warnings from staff. The HSE also discovered that the company had not conducted regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards.
As a result, the company has been fined £360,000 and ordered to pay £12,000 in costs. The judge in the case described the company’s actions as "appalling" and "a significant departure from the expected standards of health and safety."
