HSA | Kalmar Solutions AB and Scruttons (NI) Limited were fined €150,000 and €300,000 respectively after a terminal worker’s death.
On 14 August 2019 at Dublin Ferryport, a haulier was fatally struck by an empty container handler with restricted visibility. Kalmar failed to design safe machinery and Scruttons failed to assess visibility risks or have written assessments. Both pleaded guilty under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.
HSA Assistant Chief Executive Mark Cullen emphasised the necessity of risk assessments for plant and machinery operations.
