It's alarming to learn of the occurrence where a worker was almost crushed to death at a Worcestershire manufacturing site because a door collapsed. All employers must prioritise the security of their workers and take precautions to prevent such accidents. The manufacturer's fine serves as a reminder that workplace safety should never be taken lightly. To protect the staff's safety, every company must regularly review and update their safety rules. Let's hope that future events like these can be avoided.
