22 May 2026 Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy LtdSiemens Gamesa: £600,000 fine after accident at Hull blade factory United KingdomWorkplace safety and accidents €694,300

Siemens Gamesa was fined £600,000 and ordered to pay £7,980.80 in costs. At the blade factory in Hull on 18 July 2024, a prefabricated component weighing around 800 kg fell onto an employee after support poles had been removed; she has since been paralysed from the waist down. The Health and Safety Executive found inadequate risk assessment, no safe system of work and insufficient training.

What organisations can take from it

Where employees develop their own working methods, a binding and trained safe system of work is usually missing.

Relevance to training and awareness

Risk assessment and safe systems of work in manufacturing

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
