The number plates of those look very similar!

Same farm , same handler.Farm manager fined in one case,Farmer fined in the other.

 

£6000 total fines yet a work platform costs less than a grand.

 

Personally I'm quite happy working from a rehandling bucket , but i'm the boss and not employed.

A cage for the telehandler costs even less.

 

I've worked from a telehandler before, cleanin grain stores. They are a good bit of kit.

 

But as treequip said, probably didn't want to get the handler scratched.

Either they didn't use the handler because they were fined before(H&S making things worse)

 

Or they did use the handler and erected the ladder after the accident(so as not to be fined for the same offence twice)

Makes no difference, if it lifts a person or over a person it's subject to LOLER.

 

HSE also have a position statement on proper cages in place of buckets on telehandlers and it's not encouraging.
