Wine firm fined £800,000

A north-west wine and drinks supplier has been fined £800,000 after a HGV driver was killed by a forklift truck at its depot.  An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found the vehicle loading risk assessment was out of date and not fit for purpose and there was no pedestrian and vehicle segregation in place in the loading area. Visiting drivers were not given clear information about site safety.
