A global metal recycling company has been fined ￡150k for safety failings after a worker was killed at its Kingsbury depot in 2011.
Mr William Ward, 56, from Handsworth, Sheffield, sustained catastrophic crush injuries when part of a 33-tonne metal barge he was dismantling collapsed on top of him.
The incident happened at European Metal Recycling Limited''s Kingsbury depot on October 12th 2011.
The recycling giant was jointly sentenced on Friday December 19th after an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive identified serious flaws with the method of work being used to dismantle the barges.
Warwickshire Crown Court heard that Mr Ward was working alongside others to cut and dismantle two large steel barges using oxy-acetylene torches. He had finished cutting through the outer skin of the barge''s hull and had moved inside the now unsupported structure to cut some supporting braces when the side collapsed in on him. The married dad-of-two died at the scene.
EMR failed to do enough to protect the workers and ensure that burning contractors on site were competent and working safely, the court heard. European Metal Recycling Limited of Westbrook, Warrington, Cheshire, was fined GBP 150,000 and ordered to pay GBP 80,000 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
