£38,000 penalty for bakery guilty of safety failings (12 September 2016)
Date: 12/09/2016
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has prosecuted a bakery company based in Hertfordshire for safety failings.
In April 2015, Arnaouti Pitta Bread Bakery Ltd was inspected by the Health and Safety Executive – and four Improvement notices were issued.
HSE inspectors found the electrical network was not operated or maintained in a safe condition, guarding to machinery was not up to standard – and there was no health surveillance for exposure to flour dust.
HSE prosecuted the firm after they failed to comply with the improvements set out in the notices within the deadline.
At Stevenage Magistrates’ Court on 6 September 2016, Arnaouti Pitta Bread Bakery Limited – of Stephenson Close, Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire – pleaded guilty to contravening the requirements imposed by the Improvement Notices, including breaching Regulation11(1) of the Provision(and Use) of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and Regulation 11 of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.
The company was fined £36,000 and ordered to pay costs of £1,912.80.
