FATALITY FALLOUT: The U.K. firm Wyndham Peterborough has been fined £112,500 ($181,500) for safety breaches in the 2008 death of Ian Ebbs, 34, who was working on the paddle wheel assembly of a press when it moved and landed on his chest, killing him.
The printing company, known as St Ives Peterborough at the time of the incident, was also ordered to pay $129,000 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, leading to the death of the maintenance engineer, the Spalding Guardian reported. The presiding judge, Nic Madge, reportedly took into account two other incidents—“near misses”—involving the same piece of equipment. Madge also agreed with the Health and Safety Executive’s case that a permanent solution to either fix or catalog the faults had not been pursued by the printer.
