“Mr Arnup, 36, was working alongside his son Jason at MW White recycling plant in Station Road, Ketteringham, just before Christmas in 2003, when the paper shredder they were operating became blocked.

They had both climbed inside the machine to unblock it when the shredder started up again.

Jason was rescued by his colleagues but his father was pulled through the shredder and died instantly in front of his horrified son.”

Now not only is this a terrible story, but it brings up a few questions:

  • The owner of the plant was jailed for a year because of his negligence in installing a switch that would have prevented the accident.
    • So what if you buy a company or just own a company where you have no physical presence at the place of work but rely on a “manager” to handle issues such as this. Are you responsible or is the manager responsible.
    • Does this apply no matter how big the company? I mean, what if some guy at IBM got sucked into some gigantic server fan and died (not real I understand). Is the president negligent? What about the board?
  • The company argues that their payout is X minus what the insurance companies already paid. I thought that the company needed to have this type of insurance and it would be this company that had to pay out….so you would have the two insurances companies fighting over the payment rather than the company? I obviously don’t know anything about this but seems like they should let the insurance companies fight it out rather than directly with the company.
