Whilst trying to load the livestock into the lorry, the bull turned and attacked the employee, causing fatal injuries.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that there weren\u2019t any suitable refuges or barriers within the loading area for those handling the livestock to shelter behind, if for example, cattle became fractious.<\/p>\n<p>The owner of the mart pleaded guilty to breaching Section 2(1) of the Health &amp; Safety at Work Act 1974. The company was fined \u00a318,000 and ordered to pay costs of \u00a38,819.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the hearing, an HSE inspector said: \u201cThis incident could so easily have been prevented. The bull was able to strike the employee because he had been unable to outrun or out manoeuvre the bull and he was unable to seek protection from any form of refuge or barrier when it began to charge. The company should have undertaken a suitable and sufficient risk assessment to identify, and put in place, the appropriate control measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: Health and Safety Executive (HSE)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A livestock auction mart has been fined after an employee was fatally injured when he was struck by a dairy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":10764,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
