An engineering company has been fined after an apprentice suffered serious hand injuries when he was drawn into machinery<\/h2>\n

Cannock Magistrates\u2019 Court heard how, on 3 March 2018, the 19-year-old apprentice was forming a piece of sheet metal into a radius using a three-roll bending machine. He was wearing gloves when his hand was drawn in by the in-running nip between two steel rollers.<\/p>\n

As a result, the apprentice had two fingers severed and also suffered crush injuries<\/a> to his right hand.<\/p>\n

An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive<\/a> (HSE) found that a safe system of work, adequate training and effective supervision were lacking. The use of gloves increased the likelihood of being drawn in to the dangerous parts of the machine.<\/p>\n

Air Management & Design Ltd<\/a> of Spencroft Road, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2(1) of the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. The company was fined \u00a312,000 and ordered to pay costs of \u00a31,301.20.<\/p>\n

HSE inspector Wendy Campbell said: \u201cA young man\u2019s life has been changed because his employer failed to ensure adequate training in and supervision of a safe system of work for the use of a powered three roll bending machine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a reminder to all companies to check that fully fingered gloves are not worn, and safe systems of work are in place and being followed for operation of dangerous machinery such as three-roll bending machines.\u201d<\/p>\n
