## Resource

A manufacturing giant paid a brutal price after a young worker’s arm was trapped in a machine for 45 minutes—leading to shattered bones, metal plates, and permanent disability. The cause? A broken safety fence, hastily patched, that let him bypass critical safety systems. Despite a £10 million profit and no prior violations, the company’s negligence landed it a £160,000 fine—reduced only because they pleaded guilty early. The court made it clear: broken fences aren’t just maintenance issues—they’re life-or-limb decisions. This isn’t just a fine—it’s a wake-up call for every business: safety isn’t optional, it’s non-negotiable. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
