Shoplifting suspect set herself on fire in police van
A woman arrested for shoplifting at an Asda store in Dewsbury on 9th April, reportedly set fire to herself in the police van that was taking her to hospital for mental health checks.
On arrival at the hospital, officers discovered the 24 year old women had set fire to her clothes. An officer quickly extinguished the flames quickly but the women suffered burns to her back. She was then transferred to Pinderfields Hospital for treatment.
An investigation will now be carried out to determine how someone in police custody managed to harm themselves in this way.
Nicholas Long from the Independent Police Complaints Commission said: “It is of concern that the woman managed to attempt to self-harm while in police custody and it is therefore important an independent investigation is conducted to examine the circumstances. Our investigation will examine all the police interactions with this woman to determine whether policies and procedures were followed, with a focus on how she managed to set herself alight while in the police van. It is evident that the quick reactions of the police officers prevented the woman suffering more serious injuries.”
Company fined over £20,000 for safety breaches after man seriously injured in fire
A 24 year old man suffered serious burns from a flash fire after opening an industrial oven door at a factory unit in Tamworth in March 2010.
The man who worked at Environ-Strip (UK) had to be put in an induced coma. He suffered acute burns to his face, arms, neck and left hand when his body was engulfed in the flames.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found that a safety device that prevents the oven door from opening if the temperature is in excess of 260 degrees had been ‘deliberately bypassed’.
The company was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive and was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay over £6,000 in costs after Burton-on-Trent Magistrates Court found them guilty of breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and Regulation 5(1) of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.
Gail Pannell from HSE said: “This was a very serious, entirely preventable incident that could easily have been fatal and left a man on a life support machine. He is extremely lucky to have recovered from his injuries. When working with potentially dangerous substances at high temperatures, companies must carry out proper risk assessments and set up a safe system of work. This includes checking that safety devices are fit for purpose and suitably maintained.”
