£50,000 settlement over freezer trauma

A coffee shop worker who was left traumatised after collapsing unconscious inside a walk-in freezer has received £50,000 in an out of court settlement. He was asked to fetch some food from a basement freezer. He couldn’t find the protective clothing which it was policy for all staff to wear whenever they used the walk-in freezer. He suddenly felt faint and collapsed, striking his head on one of the trolleys and knocking himself out.
