A MAJOR bedding manufacturer has been fined £80,000 after an employee suffered horrific injuries when his hand was drawn into a machine.
John Cotton Group Limited faced legal action following the incident on 9 December 2020 - which resulted in the machine operator having three fingers on their left hand amputated.
The incident occurred due to there being inadequate procedures in place to allow safe interventions with machinery.
The 36-year-old worker, from Wigan, had noticed a fault with the machine at the company's Snuggledown premises in Ashton-in-Makerfield.
