The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) says the 51-year-old worker's injury was 'easily preventable'.
A workwear company in Leicestershire has been fined £400,000 after an employee had the skin ripped off the palm of her hand by a machine.
The mother-of-two, 51, from Barwell, suffered the injury when her left hand was drawn between two conveyor belts as she tried to clean a sensor.An investigation by the government agency found Johnsons had inadequately guarded machinery and did not have a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for the machinery that caused the injury.
"Employers should make sure they properly assess risk and apply effective control measures to minimise the risk from dangerous parts of machinery."
