A worker at Bridgnorth Aluminium Limited in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, was crushed by a 1.5-tonne hydraulic launder arm on May 10, 2023, while kneeling inside a casting mould. The arm fell due to hydraulic failure, trapping him for 22 minutes and causing life-changing injuries. The company had not assessed the risks or implemented a suitable safe system of work, and the safety bar was not fit for purpose. The incident occurred at temperatures around 100C, and the worker has not returned to work since.
