David Wood Baking Ltd pleaded guilty to breaches of work equipment regulations at two of its sites in Bolton where the three separate incidents took place.

They were prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for the safety breaches, which occurred in 2022. In June of that year, a woman’s arm was drawn into a conveyor belt at the company’s site at Lyon Road, Kearsley.
