An investigation by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) found that Accoil Paper Recycling had "failed to adequately manage the risk of workers being injured while operating machinery" at its Erith site. The HSE found that it was "common practice" for workers and supervisors to jump on and off the moving conveyor belt used to feed a paper baling machine to remove contaminants. HSE said the employee had sustained "multiple fractures, which have left him with reduced mobility and impacted on his ability to work".
