Read the case →Duncan Farms Limited in Banff was fined £53,000 after a worker's clothing was caught in a running conveyor. That is a criminal fine. No insurance policy pays it. The same law applies to your farm. £250,000. The sentencing starting point for the most serious breaches, firms under £2m turnover. If someone dies, the police investigate. The charge can be corporate manslaughter. And a director can go to prison. And if one of your own people is hurt and claims against you, your training records are your defence. No records, no defence.
