Faulty electric gate trapped child at primary school

摘要

A young child had to be pulled free from an electric gate after he became trapped while playing at a primary school in Bournemouth. Camera Security Services Ltd, who installed the gate, failed to fit appropriate sensor safety devices, Swindon Magistrates' Court heard. The firm was prosecuted on 30 September, after an HSE investigation revealed that the three-year-old had become trapped between the gate and the gatepost while playing.
