A supplier to the aerospace trade from Durham has been fined after an employee suffered serious leg injuries. The employee fell into the path of a working machine and became trapped. The ordeal resulted in two broken ankles and skin grafts to both legs.

An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) into the incident, found that the company had failed to prevent access to dangerous parts of machinery. The company pleaded guilty to breaching the safety regulation and was fined £800,000 and ordered to pay costs of £5,119.

Wayne Williams, an HSE inspector, said: “This injury could have been easily prevented and the risk should have been identified.

Demonstrating a rigorous approach to occupational health and safety is vital within today’s legislative environment. OHSAS 18001 is a British Standard, rather than an ISO and is designed to work alongside UK health and safety legislation.

The standard promotes a safer working environment by heightening adherence to your health and safety policy and procedures at all levels of the organisation. As well as looking after your most valuable asset – your employees – BS OHSAS 18001 gives potential clients assurance of your effective risk management procedures and full regulatory compliance.
