Welfare notices ignored

摘要

A glazing company which ignored two Improvement Notices requiring it to bring employee welfare facilities up to a clean and hygienic standard has been fined ￡5,000. Magistrates heard that notices were issued in May 2010, after a routine HSE inspection of the TLC Glazing Ltd factory in London found the toilets in a poor state of repair, with no supply of hot water, no soap for handwashing and no means of hand drying. The inspection also found that the area where employees were supposed to take lunch/rest breaks was covered in dust and debris from the adjacent workshop.
