The man suffered serious burns, a broken arm, fractured ribs and a dislocated knee cap in the explosion at an industrial estate in Lincolnshire.

A company has been fined £200,000 after one of their workers suffered burns to his face and body in an electrical explosion.

He was contracted to work for New Earth Solutions Limited, also known as Mid UK Recycling, at their recycling plant at Copper Hill industrial estate in An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found the task was not part of the normal workload for the injured worker and that he had not received any training with regards to undertaking electrical work.

In addition, the level of supervision provided was inadequate and safety devices on the electrical supply had been set inappropriately, prioritising continuity of supply over safety of the electrical circuit.
