Food manufacturer prosecuted after worker suffers chemical burns (7 December 2015)
Date: 07/12/2015
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has prosecuted food manufacturer Princes Ltd, after a worker suffered chemical burns.
In July 2013, 41-year-old Mark McLean was working at the company’s Bradford plant, when a hose carrying a caustic substance split, spraying him with the solution.
Mr McLean suffered chemical burns to the left side of his face and arms and was also temporarily blinded during the incident.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found that there was no evidence of preventative measures taken by the company before the incident occurred.
At Bradford Magistrates’ Court, Princes Ltd – of Weaverthorpe Road in Bradford – pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Princes Ltd was fined £13,000, with £1,323.15 costs.
After the hearing, HSE inspector Kate Dixon said:
“The company failed to identify and eliminate the risk through good design, instruct employees correctly – and instigate an inspection regime of the hoses and maintain the hoses in good working order.
“Had they done so, this accident would not have happened.”
