Bakery 31.10.2005

— filed under:

A 17-year-old lost part of her finger after only one hour of starting her holiday job, after it was crushed in a machine at the bakery where she worked. The automatic safety guard was faulty: the fault had been reported, but there was no planned maintenance programme, the girl had not received proper training, and her supervisor was unaware that she was using the machine.

"FIEC, together with its Social Partner EFBWW, has been promoting health and safety initiatives for many years. We are convinced that one of the most promising ways towards achieving a real improvement is through the implementation of appropriate health and safety training for youngsters entering our sector. This will increase the overall awareness of risks and the possibilities of avoiding them. Consequently, FIEC wholeheartedly supports the aims of the 2006 OSHA campaign."

Ulrich Paetzold, Director General of FIEC
