Burnley firm fined £16k after workers’ hearing put at risk

Posted on October 22, 2010 by

A Burnley manufacturing company has been fined £16,000 after it ignored a formal warning about noise levels at its factory.

HSE prosecuted Equestrian Surfaces Ltd for putting its employees’ hearing at risk, despite being given two extensions to an Improvement Notice requiring a reduction in their daily noise exposure levels.
