Read the case →BA Mobile Fleet Services Limited in Redditch was fined £30,000 after a worker's leg was amputated when falling concrete blocks trapped it. That is a criminal fine. No insurance policy pays it. The same law applies to your workshop. £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.
