Shetland firm fined £80,000

A Shetland fish processing firm was fined £80,000 after a worker died  following injuries sustained when she was run over, in 2018, by a forklift. An investigation found that no site-specific workplace transport risk assessment had been carried out and no control measures had been put in place to separate pedestrians and vehicles.  It was also found that the company had no effective arrangements for the management of health and safety and had failed to act on the advice of a health and safety consultant several years prior to the incident.
