A Christchurch bakery worker lost a finger in 2023 due to unsecured machinery, prompting a $200K fine for failing to enforce safety protocols.
A Christchurch bakery worker lost his index finger and suffered severe injuries to his thumb and middle finger in April 2023 after his hand was pulled into machine rollers.
WorkSafe found the incident was preventable due to missing lockout/tagout procedures, inadequate training, and flawed risk assessments that failed to address hazards from rotating parts.
Despite documented safety protocols, workers reported never seeing lockout tags, lacking training, and not knowing equipment locations.
The business was fined $200,000 and ordered to pay $45,500 in reparations, with WorkSafe stressing that safety measures must be actively followed, not just documented, especially in high-risk manufacturing environments.
