28 Jan 2026 Syngenta LtdSyngenta: 400,000 GBP after uncontrolled release of high-pressure steam during maintenance €460,564
While flange bolts were being removed from a steam trap in November 2023, a corroded isolation valve failed and high-pressure steam escaped; the contractor's fitter narrowly escaped serious injury. The agrochemicals group had not maintained work equipment and had not assessed the risk despite known corrosion (only single instead of double isolation). The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecution resulted in a fine of 400,000 GBP plus 8,288 GBP in costs.
Known corrosion requires safer isolation procedures – routine tasks must not mask risks.
