The Express & Star has recently reported on the case of a factory worker in the West Midlands who sustained a painful injury when his hand was crushed by a heavy beam.
An HSE investigation found failings in the information and training which the company had provided to its workers, which resulted in the accident. The company was found guilty and ordered to pay a fine of £10,000.
In a situation like this, the injured victim is likely to be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim against his employer for compensation. The fact that the company has already been found guilty to a criminal standard is likely to make that claim proceed a lot more smoothly.
