Source excerpt
A&L Furnishings Ltd has been fined £14,000 after one of its employees was involved in an accident at its Leyland base.
The company pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 11(1) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation found that it was possible for employees to reach the dangerous parts of the horizontal drilling machine when it was in operation as A&L Furnishings Ltd had failed to provide a suitable guard for the machine.
