A Manchester-based waste and recycling company has been fined more than £100,000 after a man lost his leg in a horror digger incident.
The incident happened at the Pink Skips (NW) Ltd site in Levenshulme on October 5, 2022. The worker - a 41-year-old man - was sorting refuse with two other colleagues as a 360-excavator was being used to move waste in the same area, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
