A Chesterfield poultry processing company was fined £300,000 and ordered to pay £5,046 costs after an agency worker had her thumb severed on a moving part of a processing line. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found there was no emergency stop for the worker to stop the conveyor from her working position when she became caught in it.
