Corporate manslaughter - largest H & S fine in Northern Ireland
The first company in Northern Ireland to be convicted under Corporate Manslaughter legislation - JMWFarms Limited (County Armagh) - was fined £187,500 plus £13,000 costs for health and safety failings thatled to the death of an employee who was killed after being struck by a metal bin which fell off a forklift. Thebin of the forklift, which was being driven by one of the company directors, had not been attached orintegrated with the forklift and investigators found that it was not possible to insert the lifting forks into thesleeves of the bin as they were too large and incorrectly spaced.
