Warehouse worker paralysed by toppling pallet

摘要

A warehouse worker suffered spinal injuries and was left dependent on a wheelchair after a pallet fell on to him during stock picking. Leeds Crown Court fined Birmingham insulation materials distribution company FGF £40,000 and ordered it to pay £10,480 in full costs on 23 October, after it pleaded guilty to a breach of s2(1) of HSWA 1974 by failing to ensure its employees' safety.
