News Flash - £400,000 fine for poor health and safety practices

A factory blast that killed nine people in 2004 would have been avoided if £405 had been spent on replacing a corroded gas pipe, Glasgow High Court heard. Risk assessments, one of which was carried out by a student on a holiday job, did not specifically investigate the condition of underground pipe work. ICL Plastics and ICL Tech - the operators of Stockline Plastics in Glasgow - pleaded guilty to health and safety breaches and were fined a total of £400,000.
