A Bristol waste and recycling company has been fined after a worker suffered life-changing injuries when his arm was pulled into an unguarded conveyor belt.

The employee was attempting to clear a blockage at Bateman Skips Ltd's recycling facility when he slipped and made contact with the moving machinery.

His arm was dragged into the conveyor, causing crush injuries, fractures, severe lacerations and nerve damage.

In a victim personal statement, he said:

"I used to enjoy riding my bike, playing darts and snooker with my sons, working on cars and I am now unable to do any of these tasks."

"This has been the most traumatic thing I have ever experienced both physically and mentally, and I know it will continue to affect me for the rest of my life."

Our investigation found the company had failed to prevent access to dangerous parts of machinery and had no safe system of work for clearing blockages.

HSE Inspector Laura Artosi said:

"Workers coming into contact with moving machinery is one of the most common causes of workplace fatalities in Great Britain.

"This wholly preventable incident caused this person and their family physical and emotional pain which has been affecting their lives ever since."

Bateman Skips Ltd was fined £64,666 after pleading guilty to health and safety breaches.
