Unprecedented measures are being taken in the UK and
abroad to tackle coronavirus (COVID-19).
Currently it is thought that the virus can spread by coughs and
contaminated surfaces, such as handrails and door handles in
public places. At the time of production of this newsletter, the
key advice is that good hygiene can stop the virus spreading:
• Wash your hands with soap and water often - use hand
sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your sleeve
(not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
• Put used tissues in the bin immediately
• Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are
not clean
• Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
Information about the virus, and ways of tackling it, are
evolving as we learn more about it.
It is strongly advised that you check the source of any
information on the subject of COVID-19, in order to avoid the
spread of misinformation.
Here are some useful links to help you keep up to date with
developments from reliable sources. (Please note that advice

March 2020
The Health and Safety Executive have launched a webpage
dealing with issues related to the coronavirus outbreak. (See
https://www.hse.gov.uk/news/coronavirus.htm )
So far the page has focused on:
• fit testing face masks to avoid transmission of coronavirus
(see https://www.hse.gov.uk/news/face-mask-ppe-rpe-
coronavirus.htm );
• protecting home workers (see https://www.hse.gov.uk/
toolbox/workers/home.htm );
• health surveillance (see https://www.hse.gov.uk/news/
health-surveillance-coronavirus.htm ); and
• temporary arrangements relating to drivers hours and
welfare (see https://www.hse.gov.uk/news/drivers-
transport-delivery-coronavirus.htm ).
The site also contains links to other coronavirus guidance.
Employers have the same health and safety responsibilities for
home workers as for any other workers.
So when someone is working from home, permanently or
temporarily, employers need to consider:
• How they will keep in touch with them
• What work activities they will be doing (and for how long)
• If it can be done safely
• If control measures need to be put in place to protect them
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) highlight that if contact
with home workers is poor, they may feel disconnected,
isolated or abandoned. This can affect their stress levels and
mental health.
For those people who are working at home on a long-term
basis, the risks associated with using display screen equipment
(DSE) must be controlled. This includes doing home
workstation assessments.
But the HSE also stress that, there is no increased risk from DSE
work for those working at home if it is performed temporarily.
So in that situation employers do not need to do home
workstation assessments.
The HSE provide a free
workstation checklist. It
contains useful information,
in a user-friendly format (see
right) on how to assess and
adjust a workstation.
The guide can be
downloaded from the HSE
website at:
https://www.hse.gov.uk/
pubns/ck1.pdf
More detailed guidance
about work with display
screen equipment can be accessed at:
https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg36.pdf
Key lessons:
• Communicate regularly with home workers
• Consider the work activities they will be performing, the
risks that will expose them to and if you have done enough
to control those risks
• Send your homeworkers copies of the DSE Workstation
Checklist, until such time as a full assessment is necessary

A poultry processing company was fined for
safety breaches after an agency worker had
her thumb severed on a moving part of a
processing line.
Sheffield Magistrate’s Court heard that, on 24
April 2017, the Chesterfield Poultry Ltd
worker was rehanging chickens on a hook
coming from an overhead conveyor, when
one of the chicken’s feet came out of the
shackle. As she went to insert the foot back
into the hook, her thumb got stuck, and she
was pulled around with the conveyor. Further
around the line there was a fixed upright post
attached to a drip tray and as she got to this
point her thumb met the post and her thumb
was traumatically severed.
An investigation by the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) found there was no
emergency stop for the worker to stop the
conveyor from her working position when she
became caught in it.
Chesterfield Poultry Ltd (CPL) trading as Iqbal
Poultry (IQP) pleaded guilty to breaching
Section 3(1) of the Health & Safety at Work
Act 1974.
The company was fined £300,000 and ordered
to pay £5,046.29 in costs.
A yogurt manufacturing company has been
prosecuted after two employees suffered
serious injuries following the release of an
acidic cleaning solution.
Telford Magistrates’ Court heard that, on 1
January 2016, an employee suffered serious
burns from contact with 1% nitric acid
cleaning solution that had a temperature of
650C, when working on a faulty valve on a CIP
(cleaning in place) system on the company
site. The valve blew off under pressure and
the hot fluid surged out, hitting the roof
overhead and spraying on to the employees.
Whilst trying to escape from the acidic
cleaning fluid, one of the engineers fell from a
hooped ladder and sustained a head injury.
An investigation by the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) found the company failed to
ensure the safety of its employees and that it
had not formally trained the two engineers in
lock-off and isolation procedures, use of
permits to work and safe removal of valves.
There was no assessment of the risks in place
for the safe removal of valves.
T M Telford Dairy Ltd pleaded guilty to
breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and
Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and was fined
£600,000 and ordered to pay costs of
£14,379.45.

Stan England Builders Limited has been fined following an
incident when a worker suffered serious injuries after falling
from a mezzanine level and wooden platform.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard that on 31 March 2016, Alan
Ness was working at a residential property. He began taping
areas on the ceiling of a mazzine level. He gained access to this
level by a wooden platform which had a ladder propped against
it. As he was working close to the edge of the mezzanine level,
he lost his footing and stumbled a drop of 18.5cm onto the
wooden platform. He was unable to regain his footing and fell a
further 2.5 metres head first onto the floor below. He sustained
head, back and neck injuries.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found
that there was no edge protection on the wooden platform and
no safe system of work had been put in place. Mr Ness had
received no formal training for work at height or working on
ladders, he had a lack of knowledge and awareness of the
hazards associated with work at height. Stan England Builders
Limited had failed to supervise appropriately and had not
corrected deficiencies, despite visiting shortly before the
accident there was no written risk assessments for this task.
Stan England Builders Limited pleaded guilty to breaching
Regulation 6(3) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and
was fined £6,000.
After the hearing, HSE inspector, Connor Gibson said: “Those in
control of work have a responsibility to devise safe methods of
working and to provide the necessary information, instruction
and training to their workers in the safe system of working.
“Falls from height remain one of the most common causes of
work-related fatalities in this country and the risks associated
with working at height are well known. In this case a different
and simple approach of using edge protection on the wooden
platform could have prevented the life changing injuries
sustained by the employee.”

A manufacturer of bespoke gates has been fined after an eight-
year-old girl was crushed by a steel gate at a London school.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that on 17 May 2018
the girl had been leaving an evening gymnastics club at the
school in Streatham, when the sliding gate fell on her. She
suffered multiple fractures to her pelvis as well as internal
injuries.
The manual sliding gate, which is more than five metres long
and 1.7 metres high, was designed and manufactured by
Metalart Fabrication Limited. It was installed by Metalart in
February 2018 after a delivery lorry damaged a previous, two-
leaf swing gate.
However, an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive
(HSE) found that the mechanism in place to prevent the sliding
gate from overrunning and falling over as it was opened (a
small stop welded to its guiding rail) was insufficient if the gate
was opened robustly.
When the gate was opened at the time of the incident, it
became disengaged from the rollers holding it up, when its
momentum caused it to ‘ride over’ the stop. With nothing to
hold it in position, it fell on the girl. The company made
changes to the gate’s stop mechanism on the morning after
the incident and a HSE specialist verified its safety.
Metalart Fabrication Limited pleaded guilty to breaching
Section 6(1)(a) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
The company was fined £19,327, including full costs of £1,147
and a victim surcharge of £180.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Sarah Whittle said:
“The failure to fit suitable end-stops meant that the gate was
an accident waiting to happen and could have fallen on anyone
at any time with life threatening consequences.”
A waste management company pleaded guilty to causing a life
changing injury to one of its employees.
Folkestone Magistrates’ Court heard that, on 27 February
2017, an employee of Viridor Waste Management Limited was
crushed by a reversing 22.5 tonne shovel loader driven by an
on-site contractor at a Materials Recycling Facility site in
Crayford. The injured employee was working on foot in the
area in his role as banksman, assisting a lorry to manoeuvre
into a bay while a shovel loader reversed out of the bay
independently, knocking him to the ground and driving over
the lower half of his body. He suffered very serious internal
injuries and multiple serious fractures, both with significant life
changing effects.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
found that Viridor Waste Management Limited failed to
organise the workplace in such a way that pedestrians and
vehicles could circulate in a safe manner. This prosecution is
the fourth in 4 years for this company, two of which related to
fatal incidents.
Viridor Waste Management Limited was found in breach of
Regulation 4(1) of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)
Regulations 1992 by virtue of Regulation 17(1). The company
was fined £400,000.
Speaking after the case HSE inspector Megan Carr said “This
incident is a reminder to the waste and recycling industry as to
the importance of good workplace transport control which can
often be achieved by simple pragmatic steps to avoid such
incidents from occurring.”

A paper-milling company has been fined after an
employee suffered life changing injuries.
North Somerset Magistrates’ Court heard that, on 16
March 2017, an employee was helping colleagues to
remove paper from a machine by standing in the gap
between the size press and the after-dryer section of the
machine. After a fixed guard was opened, the employee
expected the spar drum to come towards him, but by the
time he realised the cylinder was turning in the opposite
direction, the spar drum had turned and his head became
trapped between a spar and the base of the fixed guard.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
found that De La Rue International Limited had not
provided a safe system of work for the removal of broken
paper from the after-dryer section of the paper-making
machine when the machinery was operated in reverse.
De La Rue International Limited pleaded guilty to
breaching Section 2 (1) of the Health and Safety at Work
etc. Act 1974. The company has been fined £300,000 and
ordered to pay costs of £11,191.70.
Speaking after the hearing, the HSE inspector said: “Those
in control of work have a responsibility to devise safe
methods of working and to provide the necessary
information, instruction and training to their workers in
the safe system of working. If a suitable safe system of
work had been in place prior to the incident, the life
changing injuries sustained by the employee could have
been prevented.”
A company specialising in roofing work has been fined
after a self-employed roofer was seriously injured when
he fell from a roof.
Edinburgh Sheriff Court heard that, on 1 September 2016,
a self-employed roofer was carrying out work for Phoenix
Roofing and Cladding Limited, placing new roof panels and
other materials on a roof at an industrial unit. Whilst
traversing the roof, the roofer slipped and fell through an
existing rooflight and landed on a suspended ceiling
below. An investigation by the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) found that the fall from height was
possibly due to the unsafe working environment and
unsafe methods of working being undertaken. It was
established the main cause of the incident was insufficient
identification of risk in the work being done.
Phoenix Roofing and Cladding Limited of Meeks Road,
Falkirk pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the
Health and Safety at work etc Act 1974 and were fined
£20,000.

An electricity power station company has been prosecuted
after three contractors were injured by a sudden release of
water and sludge while carrying out maintenance work at a
Cheshire power station.
Manchester Magistrates’ Court heard that, on 18 January
2018, three workers contracted by Keadby Generation Limited,
were removing a recirculation pump for maintenance in the
Flue Gas Desulphurisation area of Fiddlers Ferry Power Station
in Warrington.
Approximately 38.5 metres cubed of diluted slurry and
associated stored energy was released while the pump was
being removed, resulting in the contractors being knocked off
the concrete plinth where they had been working. The trio
sustained multiple fracture injuries.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
found that the pressurised contents of the pump and
associated pipework had not been discharged prior to work
commencing due to the drain pipe being blocked. This resulted
in the release of stored energy during the removal of the pump
instead of during the isolation process.
Keadby Generation Ltd had failed to undertake a suitable and
sufficient assessment of the hazards and risks associated with
the work and had not implemented a safe system of work.
Keadby Generation Limited pleaded guilty to breaching
sections 2(1) and 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act
1974 and was fined £200,000 with costs of £7163.20.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Jane Carroll said:
“This incident could so easily have been avoided if the
company had identified and managed the risks involved and
put a safe system of work in place.
“Companies should be aware that HSE will not hesitate to take
appropriate enforcement action against those that fall below
the required standards.”
A construction firm has been fined after a 17-year-old worker
fell more than three metres through an opening for a roof
light.
Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court heard that, on 20 August 2018,
an employee of Mark Holland Group Ltd fell through a sheet of
insulation covering a skylight when walking across an
unmarked and unguarded area on the first floor of a
construction site in Southgate Street, Gloucester. He suffered
multiple broken bones in his right leg and foot and, after two
operations, was advised it was unlikely he could work in
construction again.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
found that the inexperienced young employee was not
supervised properly and was unaware of the risks on site.
There were no physical warnings that there was a hole or a
fragile surface, and no verbal warning had been circulated to
workers on site. There were also no physical barriers to stop
anyone walking from the scaffold onto the flat roof.
The company also failed to ensure that work at height was
properly planned and appropriately supervised. Despite this
incident, the company continued to fail to ensure work at
height was planned and managed on site. Numerous failings
were identified by HSE during later visits to the construction
site.
Mark Holland Group Limited pleaded guilty to breaching
Regulation 13(1) of the Construction (Design and
Management) Regulations 2015 and was fined £55,620.

Three companies have been sentenced for failing to take
adequate precautions against fire risk when building a timber
frame extension to a sheltered accommodation residential
home.
Worcester Crown Court heard that in the months leading up to
October 2017 principal contractor E Manton Limited, timber
frame designer, manufacturer and installer MTE (Leicester)
Limited and principal designer Thornton – Firkin LLP were
working on the project. This involved the installation of the
timber frame three-storey construction with a timber frame
link extension to an occupied sheltered accommodation
residential home without adequate fire prevention controls in
place, thereby putting members of the public at risk.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
found that the defendants failed to fulfil their respective duties
to plan, manage and monitor construction work in a manner
that prevents risks from fire and protects persons who may be
affected by the project. The risks should have been prevented
by designing out the major fire risks and implementing a plan
to incorporate measures to minimise the residual fire risk
during the construction phase.
E Manton Limited pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3 (1) of
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and was fined £26,000
and ordered to pay costs of £6,944.
MTE (Leicester) Limited pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3
(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and was fined
£20,000 and ordered to pay costs of £6,413.
Thornton – Firkin LLP pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3 (1)
of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and was fined
£8,000 and ordered to pay costs of £7,133.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Christopher Gregory
said: “These cases highlight the need for all duty-holders to
take proactive action to ensure they are not putting workers
and others at risk from foreseeable fire risks by taking
reasonably practicable actions, in accordance with industry
standards, to comply with their duties under the respective
regulations. “

Waste management
company, Peter Norris
(Haulage) Ltd has been fined
£140,000 after an agency
worker suffered lower leg
amputation after being
struck by a moving
excavator.
Westminster Magistrates’
Court heard that on 12
September 2017, the worker,
who had been observing a
tipping activity in the blind
spot of the excavator, had his
leg crushed by the machine
which had reversed to
accommodate another
vehicle tipping off waste in
an adjacent part of the site.
An investigation by the
Health and Safety Executive
(HSE) found no evidence of any system whereby new agency
hired staff were shown the site’s safety rules, meaning the
injured worker was unaware he was to stand in the safe refuge
areas whilst vehicles were moving around the site.
Peter Norris (Haulage) Ltd pleaded guilty to a breach of Section
3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. The
company was fined £140,000 and was ordered to pay full costs
of £9,322.48.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector John Spence said:
“The company failed to implement an adequate system of
monitoring of agency workers on site who were therefore, in
effect, left to manage themselves without necessary oversight
from the company.
“Any company that uses agency workers are required to
extend the same duty of care to them as their own direct
employee.”
The former director of a construction company has received a
suspended prison sentence after failing to comply with
Prohibition Notices and for carrying out unsafe work at height
during roofing work on a new build house.
Manchester Crown Court heard that between July and
December 2018, Imtiaz Hussain, former director of Bradford
Builders (UK) Ltd, was the person in control of the work at a
construction site of two semi-detached houses. Site
inspections in July and August 2018 by the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) resulted in Prohibition and Improvement
Notices being issued for multiple health and safety failings,
including unsafe work at height.
On 6 December 2018, a HSE site visit took place following a
report of unsafe roof work the previous week. Roof work was
being carried out from a scaffold at the rear of the building.
Two further Prohibition Notices were served on the two
separate scaffolds at the site due to missing guardrails and
scaffold boards and the resulting risk of falls from the scaffold.
An investigation by HSE found that Imtiaz Hussain failed to
comply with Prohibition Notices issued after the HSE
inspector’s visits and to take suitable and sufficient measures
to prevent falls from height during the roof work.
Imtiaz Hussain pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 6(3) of
the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and two counts of
Section 22 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. He
was sentenced to eight months imprisonment suspended for
two years, 200 hours unpaid work in the community and
ordered to pay costs of £5,000.
