Charity fined £30,000

A Cambridgeshire charity has been fined £30,000 and ordered to pay costs of £6,654 after a member of the public lost her leg when she became trapped under a lorry carrying a fairground ride.  An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that the charity failed to organise safe workplace transport whilst setting up for the event, which meant that appropriate controls such as such as temporary barriers were not put in place to segregate vehicles and pedestrians
