Newark, Nottinghamshire · Nottingham Magistrates' Court
A worker operating a counterbalance forklift truck to move waste material struck a kerbstone and the vehicle overturned. He was not wearing a seatbelt and was found trapped under the roll cage.
Injuries: fatal
HSWA 1974 s2(1)
“This tragic incident led to the avoidable death of a young man. Jamie's death could easily have been prevented if his employer had enforced the use of seatbelts.”
