A total of £230,000 has been awarded as fine to a major European food business following two incidents at its Suffolk factory.
The accident which took place at 2 Sisters Food Group left Shaun Alexander without four fingers, a thumb and half a palm, while Malcolm Raven had his arm broken because of the failure of the company to fit a by-pass devise to machinery.
Julie Jarvey, Health and Safety Executive inspector, called both incidents "wholly avoidable", and the result of a "lack of proper training, inadequate assessment of risks, absence of working practice and effective measures stopping access to dangerous equipment".
Poultry, fish, chilled, bakery and frozen goods to the retail, food service and food manufacturing sectors are the services offered by2 Sisters Food Group .
For the offence involving Shaun Alexander the company was awarded a fine of £90,000 and £140,000 for the incident involving Malcolm Raven.
