A firm has been prosecuted after a series of fires broke out at a factory which led to a worker losing part of his leg after it was crushed while he was repairing the damage caused by the fire.
Before the accident, small fires had been “common place” at the site, which makes car components using molten magnesium in die casting machines. These fires were extinguished using sand in fire buckets.
A supervisor was trapped by a half-ton metal plate that fell on his leg as he repaired a machine after one of the four fires in the factory in Orchard Way.
His broken limb was amputated from below the knee after he was taken to hospital.
