Claims for scald accidents at work?
At least one work compensation claim could be landing on the desk at Nestle Purina after the petcare company admitted breaching health and safety rules, which resulted in five men suffering severe burns.
Cambridge Crown Court heard that Gary Coe, David Garner, Mark Mawby, Christopher Newell and David Naylor were working for the company at its plant on Cromwell Road in Wisbech when the incident occurred.
The court was told that a high-pressure food-processing machine called a hydrostat unleashed an uncontrolled burst of scalding hot steam and boiling water whilst the group were in the vicinity, causing all of them to hospitalised for treatment to the burns on their their faces, arms and hands, whilst one of the victims needed cosmetic surgery to mask the damage done to one of his arms, which could put him at the front of the queue to make a work compensation claim.

Argentine train slams into station
Hours after the crash, passengers' relatives gathered at the morgue anxious for word of their loved ones.
Ezekiel Mercado said he and his mother-in-law had been frantically searching for his wife, Sabrina Espindola, 29, who didn't show up for work Wednesday. They checked nine hospitals before heading to the morgue, he said.
"I went everywhere. She is always with her Blackberry. We are always in contact," he said. "This morgue is the last place I thought of, but, well, she's missing. I call her cell phone, and it rings, rings, but she isn't responding."
Speaking at a news conference, Schiavi defended the rail system's maintenance record.
"It was an accident like those in many other countries," he said, pointing to a newspaper clipping about a fatal crash in Los Angeles. "In recent years, we've made huge investments" in the system.
As Schiavi spoke, riot police faced off against angry passengers in the closed Once station, where emergency workers spent hours extracting dozens of people trapped inside the train's first car. Rescuers had to slice open the roof and set up a pulley system to ease them out one by one. Dozens of the injured were lined up on stretchers on the station platform.
