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.

At last the new Rygor Commercials depot at Heathrow opens for business and it was fantastic to get to work at this incredible site.

No expense has been spared regarding the Health and Safety of its employees and visitors attending site.

All of the equipment on site is brand new and state of the art from hi visibility compressed air hoses to new inspection pits with remote controlled pit covers.

All truck dealers should follow this example

 

Being an Automotive Health and Safety expert covering a vast amount of different franchises I have always gravitated towards Mercedes Benz as my preferred choice of cars.

In recent years I have purchased 12 Mercedes for both myself and my wife from the same Dealership at the brilliant Sandown Mercedes in Salisbury.

Just when I thought you couldn’t get enough of a good thing, I was delighted when one of the largest independent Mercedes Truck Dealers, Rygor Commercials asked us to help with their 11 amazing retail sites.

It looks like I have gone from being a massive petrol head to a massive diesel head.

If you work within any of the Mercedes franchises and would like expert Health & Safety advice then contact us today.
