A worker was crushed against a wall by a reversing telehandler.
The waste and recycling company has been fined £24,000 after the worker suffered life-changing injuries in the incident.
The worker was sorting and separating waste material in the same yard as a colleague operating a telehandler, when the telehandler reversed into him, crushing him against the wall.
HSE's investigation found that the waste and recycling company had:
- not undertaken a suitable and sufficient risk assessment
- failed to provide adequate measures for the safe separation of vehicles and pedestrians
- failed to address that the telehandler operator could not see clearly while reversing, as the machine was missing mirrors
