Steel fabrication company Severfield (UK) has been ordered to pay £181,020 in fines and costs after a man died when the forklift truck he was operating overturned. In March 2013 Kelvin McGibbon was reversing the forklift truck when it struck some steps and overturned. He was not wearing a seat belt and suffered fatal crush injuries. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found the North Yorkshire company failed to manage forklift truck driving operations by enforcing the use of seat belts or controlling the speed of forklift trucks.
