An electricals firm was fined only £100 after one of its employees was set on fire and left in a coma following an explosion.
Workman Shahenur Rahman's body blew up to four times its normal size after the explosion at B&M's headquarters in Speke and suffered life-changing injuries. The retail giant was ordered to pay up £1m at Liverpool Crown Court this week over the incident after a "series of failings".
Also convicted of health and safety breaches in relation to the industrial accident was Daker Limited, the casualty's employer. But the company was handed a miniscule financial penalty in comparison.
