Supplier fined over machine which was


'potentially lethal’ by Vicky Carlin


TH E lives of workers at a Clitheroe timber goods manufacturer were put at risk by a high-powered imported cutting machine which was installed with­ out the correct guards


being fitted. Blackburn magistrates


heard that oir one occasion a piece of timber came loose from a clamp and, because there was no end guard, it was fired across the work­


shop. The court was told that,


while the suppliers of the machine were being prose­ cuted, the Italian manufac- Uirers wore being brought to book via the hluroiiean


Parliament. Calder Wilkinson Ltd.,


of Station Road, Soworby Bridge, West Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to an offence under the Supply of


Machinery Safety Regula­ tions and the company was fined .£750 with .£488 costs. Mr Richard Stodclart, of


the Health and Safety Executive, said the machine was manufactured by an Italian company called Bade and s\ippliod to J. and M. Timber Supplies, of Clitheroe, by Calder


Wilkinson. The machine had two


high speed cutters, which were not properly guarded, and it had no end guard. "There was the potential


for serious injury or oven death as a result," said Mr Stoddart. He added that the case against the Italian manufacturers had been referred to the European Parliament and from there it would be passed to the Italian equivalent of the Health and Safety Execu­


tive. Kevin Wright, sales


director for Calder Wilkin­


son, said the company brought the machine believing it met all the lat­ est European safety stan­ dards and had actually paid extra for all the latest guarding to be fitted. Mr Wright said J.and M.


Timber had asked the firm to supply the machine without guarding because it would cost ,£1,000 less, but the firm refused. His com­ pany paid Fade £ 9,000 for the machine and sold it to J. and M . Timber for


£12.500. Imposing the fine,


stipendiary magistrate Mr .Jonathon Finestcin said Calder Wilkinson had bought the machine through a reputable compa­ ny and had every reason to think it would be all right. "Thu original supplier has


a lot to answer for," said Mr Finestein. "He was supply­ ing something which was potentially lethal.”
