A haulage firm in Scotland has admitted failing to put measures in place to separate vehicles and pedestrians prior to an incident in which a worker was run over by a heavy-goods vehicle.
Ian Mackie, 43, was working for R & J Milne Ltd at its haulage yard in Norwood, Turriff when the incident took place on 12 November 2010. He was one of a team of five drivers who were cleaning vehicles in a wash-bay area.
Once the team had finished cleaning the driving unit of an HGV, Mr Mackie began talking to a colleague at the front near-side of the vehicle, when the driver entered the cab and began to pull out of the wash bay.€
