£27,000 fine for Birmingham firm after worker undergoes partial amputation of finger (24 March 2016)
Date: 24/03/2016
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has successfully prosecuted a Birmingham-based company, after a worker lost the tip of one finger when his safety glove became entangled with machinery.
An investigation by HSE found that the welder at Lander Automotives Limited was expected to work in a variety of roles, as required by production.
While he was working on a machine, his protective glove became entangled in the drill bit and he suffered partial amputation to the third finger on his right hand.
The HSE investigation into the incident – which occurred on 17 June 2015 –
found that the company had failed to provide adequate training, a safe system of work, a risk assessment, or a method statement.
On Monday, 21 March 2016 at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court, Lander Automotive Limited of Clapgate Lane in Birmingham pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
The company was fined £27,000 and ordered to pay costs of £1,574 and a £120 victim surcharge.
