This gate is supposed to prevent frames from continuing to move along the trackway. The frames carry large blocks through their manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<p>When Richard was in the area to clean and inspect, he was unexpectedly struck by another moving frame, pinning him between two frames and crushing his legs. The frames then continued along the track, taking Richard with them.<\/p>\n<p>As the frames moved over axles, Richard\u2019s right leg was broken and the left severely bruised. A colleague rushed over to press the emergency stop.<\/p>\n<p>Richard then needed two weeks in hospital for surgery including a metal rod and screws put into his right leg. He also needed more than a year of physiotherapy before being able to return to work.<\/p>\n<p>Following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/uk-roofer-sentenced-after-ignoring-abusing-hse-inspector\/157701\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HSE investigation<\/a>, it was found that the building materials manufacture company both failed to prevent access to dangerous parts of machinery, and failed to prevent frames from moving when in the danger zone, as the gate which was meant to do exactly this failed.<\/p>\n<p>In the court proceedings, the company pleaded guilty to these failures, and were fined \u00a3633,300, as well as \u00a35,583 in costs and a victim surcharge of \u00a32,000.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cEmployers need to ensure that dangerous machinery is guarded effectively\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>HSE inspector, Connor Stowers, said: \u201cThis was a serious and entirely avoidable incident, which has had profound consequences for Mr. Ogunleye, and were it not for the quick action of a fellow worker, the injuries he sustained could have been worse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Employers need to ensure that dangerous machinery is guarded effectively, and this goes beyond the initial installation. Employers should frequently monitor how effective their measures are and make changes as needed. Monitoring arrangements should include properly investigating near misses and previous incidents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this case, had the previous near misses on the block production line at Tarmac Linford been fully investigated and sufficient action taken, this life-changing injury would never have occurred.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HSE guidance on safe use of equipment can <a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftracking.vuelio.co.uk%2Ftracking%2Fclick%3Fd%3DlWhE-e5GCnnvab4RtwbIZHkpH4tq-aEtbRdMxJFtpla8yB5V1ecUQGnS7tBXnXPt_5BePfwG8C2Cs0kYtehCB4mmlJNEuBGfqlIy08_WTsEMj5lU2bm3ISfAufGmbkFTIEzR2bAuwlUZl7QITDuyHUiZzzxTVzqasjWkcQKuRGKQ0&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cmbrundrett%40pbctoday.co.uk%7Cf6798693175b4bc1536608de624db422%7Cc73c39dfc8af45999de24cdbabf8524b%7C0%7C0%7C639056283055039221%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=4LxDHi7k7HImRRWWF%2B1eWitSmHRw%2BXeCrR5J9zK5Hvg%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A building materials manufacturer has been fined after Richard Ogunleye&#8217;s legs were crushed in moving machinery in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":158855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[309],"tags":[564,431],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-158854","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health-safety-news","8":"tag-hse","9":"tag-plant-equipment-supplies"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Building materials manufacturer fined over \u00a3600,000 after worker crushed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A building materials manufacturer has been fined after Richard Ogunleye&#039;s legs were crushed in moving machinery in 2022\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/building-materials-manufacturer-fined-over-600000-after-worker-crushed\/158854\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Building materials manufacturer fined over \u00a3600,000 after worker crushed\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A building materials manufacturer has been fined after Richard Ogunleye&#039;s legs were crushed in moving machinery in 2022\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/building-materials-manufacturer-fined-over-600000-after-worker-crushed\/158854\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
