RNN media information for journalists and the press - Press Releases - GLASGOW FIRM FINED AFTER WORKER LOSES FINGER - Regional News Network: A Glasgow firm has been fined after an employee lost a finger and seriously injured his hand and arm when they became caught in machinery.
Daniel Campbell, 29, was working for Robert Cullen Limited, a manufacturer of corrugated cartons and moulded pulp products, at its premises in Dawsholm Avenue, when the incident happened on 5 July 2010.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) established that the safety gates on a pulp products machine were not working properly, which meant it could operate when the gates were open.
The investigation also found that the company had failed to provide adequate training for Mr Campbell in the use of the machine, and in particular he was lacking knowledge of how to clear blockages safely.
