The solid barrier does not continue to the very end of the warehouse, leaving a small gap for the cages to be rolled through.Īt Medway Magistrates' Court, Royal Mail pleaded guilty to Regulations 17(1) of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations, which covers the organisation of traffic, and Regulation 3(1) of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, which requires employer risk assessments. For a company of that stature it's something that you would expect them to have picked up on and put in place." She continued: "What they should have done, and what they did do eventually, was install a solid barrier in the middle of aisle so reach trucks would be operating on one side and people working on foot on the other side. "They had carried out a risk assessment but it was not suitable or sufficient and it did not determine how effective segregation could have been achieved." "Royal Mail didn't have a system in place to separate pedestrians from vehicle traffic," said Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspector Bose Gabriel. His foot was run over and he sustained broken bones. This restricted the worker's view and as he stepped back into the central aisle, walked into the path of a reach truck. The warehouse was particularly busy and many of the lanes were filled to the end with cages. On 7 March 2014, a worker rolled one of the cages into its designated lane. The storage lanes and racking space were divided by a central aisle. Reach trucks operated in this space, either taking pallets out of the racking system or putting pallets back. The pallet racking area was located on the other side of the warehouse. Here, leaflets were weighed, packed together and put into cages which had to be rolled into storage lanes ready for collection by delivery vehicles.
