Case one – accident while clearing blockage
Mr O was working as a machine operator in a factory. The machine he was working on became blocked, and it was company policy for operators to clear blockages themselves. Mr O opened the safety doors of the machine and cleared the obstruction. As it cleared, the machine started up again unexpectedly and he suffered serious cuts to his hand and fingers. The safety mechanism that should have stopped the machine from working with the doors open had failed because it had not been maintained properly by the company.
"I was over the moon when I received my cheque, thanks"
Mr O contacted our team here at Ashley Ainsworth, and we managed to get him £3,140 in compensation.

Case two – machine restarts during cleaning
Part of Mrs J's job involved cleaning the rollers of a conveyor belt machine. The machines were switched off while cleaning took place, due to the risk of injury. However, a colleague was unaware of Mrs J's presence and switched on the machine while she was working on it. Her arm was caught between moving parts, and she suffered a serious injury.
"I hope my firm learn lessons from my case"
Mrs J received £5,780 with our help, and the company now employs a safer system of work for the machine to ensure similar events cannot happen in the future.

Case three – missing safety guard
Mr C was operating machinery in a manufacturing environment. While performing his task, his sleeve became caught in moving parts of the mechanism and his hand was dragged into the machine. Unfortunately, Mr C lost part of his finger in the accident. Safety guards on the machine had been removed by his supervisors so that production from the machine would be quicker. The guards would have prevented his sleeve coming into contact with any moving parts.
"I just wanted to say thanks for making everything go so smoothly"
With our help, Mr C received a total of £6,370 in compensation for his injuries.
