Firm fined after worker’s thumb and finger sawn off

Posted on January 6, 2011 by

A construction and building firm based in Bury St Edmunds was fined today after a worker’s finger and thumb were amputated by a moulding machine.

David Head, 24, a bench joiner of Rubens Walk, Sudbury was shaping a piece of timber at the G J Bream & Son Ltd joinery workshop in Chevington, Suffolk on 10 June 2010, when it caught in the cutter and dragged his left hand into the blades.
