Liverpool rubber firm sentenced over burn injury: 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.
