A MAN was crushed to death at a M\u00fcller Yogurt factory – with his heartbroken mum speaking out over his "entirely preventable" death.<\/p>\n

Lewis McFarlin, 24, was killed while trying to repair a lift at the factory in Market Drayton, Shropshire on January 14 2020.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

The engineer had climbed on top of the lift while trying to fix its jammed door.<\/p>\n

But the lift suddenly switched from "inspection mode" back to normal and started moving.<\/p>\n

Lewis was crushed in the gap between the lift and the shaft, with horrified colleagues unable to free him.<\/p>\n

He was already dead by the time emergency services arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n

The company Lewis worked for was fined \u00a3200,000 following a Health and Safety Executive probe into his death at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.<\/p>\n

Investigators said Lift Monitoring Systems Ltd had failed to cover the gap which Lewis was trapped in – and that he would not have died if it had done so properly.<\/p>\n

The firm pleaded guilty to failing to discharge the duty imposed on it by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.<\/p>\n

Lewis' mum Leah Salt said: "Hearing all the evidence has been extremely difficult. <\/p>\n

"Hearing how Lewis\u2019 death was easily and reasonably preventable, is heartbreaking. <\/p>\n

"No one should go to work and not return.<\/p>\n

"As a family, losing our lovely Lewis and his future, has had a massive impact on all of our lives. <\/p>\n

"Nothing can bring my son home.<\/p>\n

"However, if future lives and families can be protected as a result of this outcome, then Lewis\u2019 death hasn\u2019t been in vain."<\/p>\n

HSE inspector Andrew Johnson said: "This tragic and entirely preventable incident led to the loss of a much loved son. <\/p>\n

"The risks associated with working on lifts and the necessary safety measures were well-known to the company.<\/p>\n

"Sadly, in this case, the employer failed to meet its responsibilities to put in place simple and well-established reasonably practicable measures such as covering the void in which Lewis became trapped in. <\/p>\n

"Had the company fulfilled its duties, this tragic incident simply would not have happened."<\/p>\n
