RNN media information for journalists and the press - Press Releases - Liverpool rubber firm sentenced over burn injury - Regional News Network: A Liverpool rubber manufacturer has been fined for safety failings after an employee seriously injured his hand when it became trapped in machinery.
Robert Devonport was left with a severe burn to his left hand and a crush injury to his thumb as a result of the incident at Ley Rubber Ltd’s former site on Bridgewater Street on 6 December 2010.
The company was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after an investigation found there was no guarding on the machine to prevent employees’ hands being trapped.
South Sefton Magistrates’ Court in Bootle was told that the 47-year-old, from Toxteth, was making adjustments to a machine while it was running on a timed cycle.
