North Yorkshire mining company fined £3.6 million

A North Yorkshire mining company has been fined £3.6 million and ordered to pay costs of £185,000 after two electricians suffered severe burns in separate incidents which occurred in 2016 and 2019. The HSE found deficiencies from the owner of the mine in risk assessment, planning of works, and shortfalls in providing warnings about which parts of the electrical systems the two electricians were working on remained live.
