Nestlé UK Ltd was fined after an incident where a worker was drawn into a roller mechanism on a conveyor machine. HSE's investigation into the incident found that the company: - had not properly assessed the risk created by the rollers under the conveyor belt
- failed to guard the roller, which was a dangerous part.
It was foreseeable that employees would require access to this area and there was a clear risk of injury to employees coming into contact with this roller.

This episode of our podcast series discusses what you can do to promote change and protect your workforce from the risks of MSDs. It features a conversation with Matt Birtles, Principal Ergonomics and Human Factors Consultant at HSE, and Peter Crosland, National Civil Engineering Director at CECA.

At this time of year surfaces can be perilous – there are plenty of seasonal factors to consider when avoiding these sorts of accidents. Poor lighting, excess water from rain and even wet and decaying leaves can all cause slip and trip accidents to increase significantly. Slips and trips cause over a third of all major injuries and can also lead to other types of accidents, such as falls from height or into machinery. Our website guidance on slips and trips provides plenty of information and resources on how to avoid these accidents in the workplace. | HSE deliver a range of specialist training courses, as well as webinars, conferences and seminars.
