Pret A Manger has been fined £800,000 after one of its workers got stuck in one of its freezers, suffering suspected hypothermia.
The woman tore up a cardboard box of chocolate croissants to shelter from a ventilator blowing out cold air, but her hands were too cold to break it apart.
Pret's reporting system revealed there had been several call-outs relating to defective or frozen push buttons in the previous 19 months, including one occasion at the same remote kitchen in January 2020 when a worker had become stuck in the walk-in freezer after being unable to open the door from the inside.
"Westminster City Council will continue to work with businesses to make sure the highest levels of health and safety are consistently maintained and educate staff in safe practice."
