£50,000 in compensation for arm injury

A man who suffered an injury when his arm was pulled into a machine has received £50,000 in compensation. The man, an engineer, had to undergo specialist surgery in France following the accident at a factory in Kent. His right arm was pulled into a bottle-making machine after he slipped on oil and water which had collected on the factory floor. The doors of the machine had been left open as he carried out routine maintenance. When he slipped his shirt sleeve caught on the machine and his arm was dragged in.
