Warning on handling hazardous materials after prosecution

The HSE has told companies, particularly those in the major hazard sector, that they must ensure their workforce follows approved company safety procedures.

The warning comes after BAE Systems Land Systems (Munitions and Ordnance) Ltd was ordered to pay £50,000 in fines and costs of £15,000 at Cardiff Crown Court after a worker was severely burned at its site in Glascoed, Monmouthshire.
