A worker died inside a recycling compactor when it was accidentally turned on by a new colleague. Dale McCelland was killed at the H&A Recycling plant in Redruth, Cornwall in November 2017, a court heard.

The 23-year-old had got inside the machine after it got blocked and a colleague - who was new to the job - then inadvertently switched it on.

The plant's safety standards were branded by judge Mr Justice Garnham as "positively Victorian". The firm admitted corporate manslaughter and was fined £200,000.
