Haulage firm sentenced for health and safety breaches over road deaths 09/09/2009
The Dorset haulage company and its senior managers who were cleared of manslaughter charges in relation to a road crash involving one of its drivers have been fined a total of almost £60,000 for health and safety breaches.
At Winchester Crown Court on 4 September, Blandford-based Translact was fined £10,000 for breaching section 2(1) of the HSWA 1974 and £30,000 for breaching section 3(1) in relation to the deaths of Neville and Cheryl De’Ath on 2 March 2007. The couple were hit by an articulated lorry owned by the firm while travelling on the A303 in Wiltshire. (Click here for our earlier report on the case.) The company pleaded guilty to both charges.
Company secretary Claire Ridout was fined a total of £8000 for the same breaches. Ms Ridout also pleaded guilty, although the original indictment against her was amended to delete reference to “consent or connivance”, so that it was clear the charges were brought in relation to her neglect of duty.
Company director Robert Taylor was ordered to pay fines of £1500 and £5700, respectively, for the same breaches, while Christopher Taylor, a director of Translact’s parent company, Taymix Transport Ltd, received fines of £1500 and £3000 — again, for the same breaches, respectively.
Nicholas Read, Translact’s transport planner, was found not guilty of breaching section 7 of the HSWA.
The manslaughter case — against Translact, the Taylors, and Read — was dropped on 3 August owing to the impossibility of proving that fatigue as a result of working excessive hours caused driver Maciej Szcygiecki to plough into the De’Aths. Szcygiecki is currently serving a four-year sentence for dangerous driving.
Translact has yet to appear before the traffic commissioner, who will decide whether or not it keeps its operating licence.

That’s perfectly possible Pete, cos we’re now in the days of increased cooperation between the TCs and their equivalent in the other EU member States. I can easily imagine the TC writing a ‘heads-up’ to the Belgian authorities to inform them of the actions taken in the UK. 
Have I missed something or has Translact a secret office in Belgium somewhere that as a subby for them for the past 5 years I havnt heard about■■?

Pete gets the wrong end of sticks sometimes Alan 
if i have made a mistake then sorry but there is or was
a firm in Belgian
with this name as well it was tankers food products only
And i used to see them often at a few of the customers
we had in BELGIAN;
They used to be “flagged out” to there, in the days when you could still get away with such things. I worked for them around 2001, and they were back on UK-plates by then, but IIRC, only just.
