Bakery fined £45,950, after worker suffers partial amputation of finger (20 May 2016)
Date: 20/05/2016
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has successfully prosecuted a Wiltshire bakery, after an employee was seriously injured on an inadequately guarded powered bowl mixer.
The unnamed employee at Haydens Bakery – which manufactures confectionary items – caught his wedding ring on an unguarded attachment of the rotating shaft on a powered bowl mixer.
The worker suffered injuries to his ring finger, which required partial amputation.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive into the incident on 3 March 2015 found that the company had modified the machine by adding a securing clip to a rotating shaft – but had failed to identify and address the additional risk created.
On Monday, 16 May 2016 at Swindon Magistrates’ Court, Haydens Bakery of Hopton Estate, London Road in Devizes, Wiltshire pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 11(1) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and Regulation 3(3) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
The company was fined £40,000 with £5,950 in costs.
