Worker suffers arm injury at mussel farm due to unsafe machinery operations, prompting safety warnings for maritime mussel farm operators.

A worker's serious injury at a mussel farm highlights risks in vessel operations during mussel harvesting. Paddy Bull Limited was sentenced for breaching health and safety laws after the employee suffered an arm injury while cleaning a mussel tumbler. Maritime NZ urges operators to implement safety measures in machinery operations, as marine mussel farms involve growing mussels on ropes, which are then hauled and cleaned in tumblers.
