Scots woman killed by reversing truck sees firm fined £100k

A negligent Scots firm who failed to implement safety measures and instead expected staff to "get on with it" has been fined nearly £100,000 when a woman was killed by a reversing truck.

Karen Allen, 61, was working at a fish processing company based at Blacksness Pier, Scalloway, Shetland, on January 31 2018 when she was run over by a reversing forklift truck after binning a bag of rubbish.

She tragically passed away weeks later, on February 22 - which prompted the company to belatedly introduce health and safety management.
