Sellafield fined £400,000 after worker fell three metres and broke his back
READ MORE:The maintenance fitter had been tasked with fixing a leaking pipeline within the former reprocessing facility that used to receive and process thousands of tonnes of spent or used nuclear fuel from power stations in the UK and abroad. On October 12, 2021, the fitter and his colleague entered the chamber to carry out repair work, which was slippery due to the leaking acid.
He sustained fractures to his vertebrae, with injuries that have been described as life-changing with his mobility still significantly affected and him not yet having returned to work. District Judge John Temperley ruled they must pay a fine of £400,000 and pay prosecution costs of £29,210.64.
There was also a failure to properly consider how workers could carry a 20kg hydraulic clamp up and down a scaffolding while wearing the additional and bulky clothing needed to enter the chamber.
