| 摘要： | Three companies have been fined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in November after two separate incidents involving unloading trailers resulted in fatal injuries. First, transport company Arnold Laver & Co was fined £400,000 after one of its drivers was killed after being knocked off his trailer while loading and unloading it. On 16 November 2020, Robert Gifkins was delivering timber to a company in Whaddon, near Salisbury. He had climbed on to the bed of his trailer to sling the load and attach it to the vehicle-mounted crane. While moving the load using the crane's remote control, he was struck by the crane and fell from the vehicle to the ground. He died a month later. An investigation by HSE found that this incident was the result of failings by the company: the risks associated with this work at height had not been properly assessed and the risk of falls had not been adequately prevented or controlled. The company had also not provided Gifkins with sufficient training and instruction on the safe operation of the remote crane controls on the vehicle. Elsewhere, two companies have been fined after an HGV driver suffered fatal chest injuries while unstrapping a load on a trailer. Andrew Bayley-Machin, 41, was fatally crushed when he was hit by a pack of steel gates that fell approximately three metres from a load on a flatbed trailer, at Joseph Ash Ltd's Telford site. |
