Reflex Packaging Hit with $60K Safety Fine | Nottingham News

Another massive fine hits Reflex Flexible Packaging—$60,000 this time after a worker’s hand was crushed in a laminator while cleaning, thanks to a rag caught in rollers. Thankfully, a coworker hit the emergency stop. This isn’t their first rodeo: they were slapped with a $277,500 penalty last year after another employee died in an unguarded machine. The Health and Safety Executive called both incidents entirely preventable, citing missing guards, flawed safety assessments, and no protections during maintenance. The injured worker spent four nights in the hospital, underwent two surgeries, and now needs rehab. Officials warn that cleaning and repair tasks are when workers are most at risk—and safety must be prioritized beyond normal operations. Reflex pleaded guilty, adding $4,464 in court costs to the bill. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
