Kier MG Ltd has been told to pay nearly £170000 for safety failings after an employee suffered multiple injuries when he was crushed between a truck and a skip at a site in Essex. The worker was caught between the skip loader truck and the skip he was preparing for pick-up at the-then May Gumey-operated household waste recycling centre in Canvey Island in January 2013. The skip loader was manoeuvring into position for the pick-up but struck the worker as it was being driven through a narrow route between the full skip and a fence. The worker suffered life-threatening injuries including having all his ribs broken; back and shoulder injuries; injuries to the top of his left leg; a chip to the back of his skull and a number of cuts and bruises. The company was fined a total of £160000 and ordered to pay costs of £9809.
