## Resource

A 17-year-old farmhand lost part of his foot after it was caught in unguarded machinery at Kia Ora Feedlot, leading to a $60,000 fine against Swain Farms for failing to install basic safety guards and provide training. The teen, new to farming, managed to call for help but required emergency extraction with a grinder. The court stressed that the dangers were obvious and preventable, and while the company has since improved safety protocols, the penalty was deemed necessary to underscore the seriousness of the oversight. Half the fine goes to the prosecutor, and Swain Farms must also cover legal costs. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
