20 Jan 2026 Multi Packaging Solutions UK LimitedPackaging manufacturer: 4.5-tonne machine falls on worker – 433,333 GBP United KingdomWorkplace safety and accidents €496,828

During an improvised relocation of a 4.5-tonne machine without lifting points, using a forklift and skates, the load slid off the forks at the East Kilbride plant in 2023 and struck an employee working underneath it on the head; he suffered permanent damage to his sight, hearing and facial nerves. The lifting operation had not been planned by a competent person; fine of 433,333 GBP. According to its 2024 annual accounts, the company (now Smurfit Westrock Consumer Packaging UK Limited) employed an average of 1,397 people in the United Kingdom.

What organisations can take from it

Have rare, non-routine lifting operations planned separately by a competent person before anyone steps under the load – they are the most dangerous.
