Derbyshire waste management company fined £300,000

A Derbyshire waste management and plant hire company has been fined £300,000 and ordered to pay costs of £50,737 after a worker was fatally crushed between two vehicles while refuelling. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) into the incident, which occurred in 2013, found there were no marked or identified vehicle and pedestrian routes. There were no rules or control of reversing manoeuvres, and the lighting at the site was poor and below the required standard.
