A carpet sample book manufacturer has been fined after two workers were seriously injured in an incident where a forklift truck crashed into an onsite refuse skip.

Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard how on 29 July 2019, three workers at Profile Patterns Limited had been emptying waste from plastic bins at their site in Wigan. They were using a forklift truck to raise the bins to a height that enabled a worker at either side of the truck to manually tip the bins into a skip. When one of the bins became trapped between the side of the skip and the forks, the driver of the forklift truck climbed on top of the skip to free the bin whilst the other two employees remained standing at either side of the forklift truck. Another employee was asked to reverse the forklift truck to aid the release of the bin.

However, after reversing, the forklift truck then moved forward crashing into the skip causing the employee on top of the skip to fall. One of the workers standing at the side of the truck became impaled by her right arm by the fork. The two workers sustained serious fractures that required hospital treatment.

An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that Profile Patterns Limited did not take effective measures to ensure the health and safety of employees in relation to the risks arising from the use and operation of forklift trucks. The company failed to implement a safe system of work and provide adequate instruction and training to employees. It was established that tipping bins into the skip in this way was normal working practice that had taken place over a considerable length of time, throughout which employees were placed at significant risk.

Profile Patterns Limited of Makerfield Way, Ince Wigan, Lancashire, pleaded guilty to breaching sections 2(1) and 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. The company was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay costs of £4,435.

Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Emily Osborne said: “The risk of injury from this unsafe working practice was foreseeable and the incident could so easily have been avoided.

“Profile Patterns Limited should have put in place a number of safety measures including appropriate segregation of vehicles and pedestrians and a safe system of work for emptying the bins.

“Those in control of work also have a responsibility to provide the necessary information, instruction and training to their workers in order to carry out work safely.”

Another great day working with the multi award winning bodyshop group MG Cannon. Recently I was at one of the newest sites in Gloucester, headed up by the bodyshop manager Paul Bonner.

Ever since MG Cannon began on day one as a sole trader in a single site, they have worked extremely hard to continuously develop themselves and their business. They have driven themselves to continuously improve their service, deliver their brand value and ensure every customer experience was a top quality one that exceeded their expectations. With the recent expansions to their business over the past three years, they are now able to bring our passion to more customers, over a wider area, than ever before. MG Cannon are regularly acquiring new sites and I am sure there will be another on the horizon very soon.

They heavily invest in developing their team, who share the same values to drive to succeed – and with their ‘home grown’ talent their future is very bright and secure. I see this translate every day into new MG Cannon Customers for Life, who testify that their high service standards are being met through naming and thanking individual team members in their CSI returns and testimonials.

They continue to strive to be the manufacturers chosen bodyshop partner by providing the quality and brand experience expected by their manufacturer and retailer partners and their customers.

Unlike other bodyshops who may offer a 12 month or 3-year guarantee at MG Cannon every vehicle repair, every day is happily guaranteed for life. They guarantee to use only genuine parts, products and repair methods on your vehicle, ensuring your future safety by never using copy or pattern parts, maintaining your cars residual value and body warranty for when you sell it.

Having helped Bodyshops with their Health & Safety for 27 years we are known throughout the industry. If you are a bodyshop owner and have considered outsourcing your H&S, we can guarantee it will be cheaper than doing it yourself.

With an estimated 900 Bodyshops closing for good in the past 12 years its always great to see a new one open.

MSC spray shop is a new vehicle paint and body shop near Billingshurst in a rural part of West Sussex. They are open to both trade and retail customers with repairs ranging from small scratches to full resprays and all carried out by their professional team.

The business is headed up by two young entrepreneurs Joe & William, who are both qualified vehicle technicians but with no vehicle body repair experience.

Bravely they did not take on an existing business but started from scratch with a vacant building. They slowly renovated the building and installed a brand new spray booth/mixer room and then employed fully trained staff.

They then sought out to gain expert health & safety advice which came in the form of yet another gratefully received referral from Andy Savva ‘The Garage Inspector’ Joe & William have been delegates on many of Andy’s courses which they have benefitted from greatly.

The standard of work at MSC Spray Shop is second to none and with a steady stream of work coming through its doors everyday, means this new venture is destined for success.

Well done lads keep up the good work.
