Company fined £45,000 after worker loses three fingers
A decorative panel manufacturing company was fined £45,000 after a worker was badly injured while using an industrial saw.
Leeds Magistrates’ Court heard how an employee of Laminated Products Limited was working alongside colleagues using a beam saw to cut sheets of MDF.
When he reached into a hole in the fixed guarding, which he believed was a viewing hole, to clear waste offcuts, his fingers became trapped under a drive chain and sprocket. As he pulled his hand out, three fingers were cut off.
