A worker at Coatbridge company Lees of Scotland Limited broke his arm and cut open his head after a forklift incident.

Lees of Scotland Limited, who make teacakes, snowballs, and meringues, pled guilty to a charge under health and safety legislation on 13 December 2022 at Airdrie Sheriff Court after misuse of a forklift truck led to the injury.

When the driver began to remove the second crate, he struggled to lift it out of the HGV trailer. The crate struck a vertical support bar on the trailers side leaving it uneven on the forks. The forklift truck again became overbalanced, and the employees were directed to get on the back of the forklift again.

The case was investigated by the Health and Safety Executive. They found that the accident was caused by a lack of sufficient planning. The delivery was out of the ordinary as deliveries usually consisted of pallets of ingredients for products which were much lighter than the crates on the day of the incident
