Eden Veg Ltd fined after farm worker injured in fall

A FARM business has been fined after a labourer was left with brain and spinal injuries when he fell while putting up a farm building.

Eden Veg Limited, of King Cup Farm, Willets Lane, Denham, Buckinghamshire, had commissioned a new grain store from a Portuguese supplier.

Due to the pandemic, the supplier had been unable to travel to the UK to put up the building - so the farm business decided to use its employees to build the barn themselves.

One of the employees, 34-year-old Florin Morariu, fell from height while helping to install profiled metal cladding to the roof of the steel-framed farm building.
