• The British Millerain Company pleaded guilty to breaching section 33(1)(a) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and was fined £220,000 plus £5,634 in costs on July 10.
• An HSE investigation found no risk assessment, no training for banksman duties and no safe system for reversing HGVs at the Buckley Road warehouse.
