Two companies could face prosecution over the death of a man from Chorley and his boss at an industrial estate.

Daron Pickstock and Lee Horton died in hospital following an incident at Castlefield industrial estate, Bingley, West Yorkshire, on October 29, 2020. Both men were reported to be working together when tragedy struck. Mr Pickstock, 43, of Chorley was pronounced dead at the scene and 58-year-old Mr Horton was taken to hospital for treatment and died the following day.

Both businesses are being investigated over breaches of section two and three of the Health and Safety at Work Act. At this week’s hearing earlier, the HSE's service enforcement lawyer Daniel Poole said: 'I will review this case in its entirety.' Mr Poole added that he 'may have to pose further charges' and that the review of what happened in 2020 will be 'thorough'.
