RNN media information for journalists and the press - Press Releases - St Helens recycling firm sentenced over worker's death - Regional News Network: A recycling company has been ordered to pay £240,000 in fines and costs after a worker was killed at a St Helens factory.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted JFC Plastics Ltd, previously known as Delleve Plastics Ltd, after Steven Bennett died at the company’s former premises at the Neills Road Industrial Estate in Bold.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that Mr Bennett, 31, was last seen alive by his colleagues in the early hours of the morning on 24 November 2005.
The HSE investigation concluded that the most likely cause of his death was that he fell into a machine, used to break apart bales of plastic bottles, while checking to see if it was running smoothly.
