摘要

Severf ield has been fined over the death of a forklift truck operator after the truck he was operating overturned. However, the offence to which the company pleaded guilty was not a significant cause of the fatal accident. Teesside Crown Court heard how 27-year-old Kelvin McGibbon was reversing the forklift truck when it struck some steps causing it to overturn. McGibbon was not wearing a seatbelt and suffered crush injuries which proved fatal.
