Health & Safety: British Suger fined for failing to control risks 
Health & Safety

This article is issued in order to highlight the dangers of not carrying out adequate risk assessments.

British Sugar has been fined £400,000 for breaching health and safety legislation, deemed by a Crown Court to have resulted from the company's failure to manage risks on its site at Bury St Edmunds.
In February 2003 an employee was struck and fatally injured on the premises by a loading vehicle at its animal feed warehouse operated by a contractor. The contractor, VM Plant Limited (now in liquidation), was fined £250,000.
The failure by the British Sugar to implement a system of health and safety management manifested itself in the uncontrolled risk to employees who could access an environment where there was inadequate separation of vehicles and persons.
British Sugar has since invested significant sums in health and safety at the site.
