## Resource

Two workers suffered severe second-degree burns at a food factory after hot steam erupted while they were repairing pipes atop a boiler—no safety plan, no shutdown procedures, and no risk assessment. The company, Samworth Brothers, pleaded guilty and was fined £594,000, plus court costs and compensation, sending a chilling message: cutting corners on safety doesn’t just hurt workers—it breaks the law and costs big.
