Neal Hetherington suffered severe injuries from a tyre buffing machine due to inadequate safety measures by D&D Commercial Services, resulting in significant fines and a warning for industries.
The investigation revealed that the machine's 'hold to run' controls were faulty, and a lack of operational brakes allowed the machine to continue spinning dangerously after use.
HSE inspector Oscar Dower emphasized that the case illustrates the importance of proper safety measures and the accountability of companies in ensuring worker protection.
D&D Commercial Services was fined 54,000 and ordered to pay an additional 6,000 in costs, highlighting legal repercussions for neglecting worker safety and health standards.
