A County Durham car valeting company must pay out more than £10,000 after safety inspectors found workers were at risk of electrocution.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has taken action to protect staff at UK Express Valeting Limited based on the Abraham Industrial Estate in Bishop Auckland. It comes after an HSE investigation found the car cleaning firm was using unsafe equipment and faulty electrical installations which posed a danger to staff.
HSE first visited UK Express Valeting Limited in March 2020 and took enforcement action after inspectors found the business had "unsafe electrical installations" and "inadequate welfare facilities".
