## Resource

An 18-year-old worker lost part of his leg after his foot was caught in unguarded machinery at a clinical waste facility in Oldham. The Health and Safety Executive found the company failed to conduct a proper risk assessment, leaving deadly hazards unaddressed. The firm pleaded guilty, was fined £315,000 plus costs, and HSE inspectors warned that such tragedies are entirely preventable — especially when young lives are at stake.
