A company that grows mushrooms has been fined after an employee’s leg became trapped in a machine and was later amputated in East Yorkshire.
Luka Ilic’s right leg was caught by the rotating blades of a mushroom filling machine and became stuck in the device’s moving parts on October 16, 2019.
He was part of a team of three at Howden Enterprises Ltd, trading under the name Hughes Mushrooms, that was cleaning the machine at the firm’s premises in Holme-on-Spalding-Moor.
