19 Jan 2026 Derbyshire ConstabularyDerbyshire Constabulary: 60,000 GBP after burn injuries during Molotov cocktail training United KingdomWorkplace safety and accidents €69,196

During a public order training exercise in February 2021, police officers wearing flame-retardant protective clothing had petrol bombs thrown at them; four officers suffered burns with permanent scarring. There was no information on the service life and testing of the PPE, no risk assessment for the manufacture and use of the petrol bombs, and no safe systems of work. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecution resulted in a fine of 60,000 GBP plus 9,470 GBP in costs.

What organisations can take from it

Realistic operational training also needs a risk assessment and tested protective equipment.

8 Jan 2026 Glasgow City CouncilGlasgow City Council: 80,000 GBP after collapse of a rusted-through lamp post United KingdomWorkplace safety and accidents €92,092

In June 2023, a lamp post dating from the 1950s/60s, whose steel at the base was at least 60 % rusted through, fell over and seriously injured a pedestrian. The post had been rated as poor in 2022 but was not scheduled for replacement until 2024; the council's visual inspections did not identify the acute risk of collapse. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecution resulted in a fine of 80,000 GBP.

What organisations can take from it

Inspection regimes for ageing infrastructure must prioritise findings and trigger immediate action where there is acute danger.
