'Had appropriate isolations been in place... the incident would not have occurred' - Mr Justice Picken.
Father-of-two David Chandler, 45, died after an “explosive release” of gas, which left around 20 others needing treatment, at the site in Northampton in November 2016.
Passing sentence on Tuesday, High Court judge Mr Justice Picken said: “Carlsberg admits these failings, specifically a failure to ensure the health and safety, so far as was reasonably practicable, of employees and non-employees alike. The judge, who also made a costs order for £90,000, added: “It is not in dispute that this is a case where the level of culpability is properly to be regarded as high.”
In her statement to the court, Mrs Chandler said she and her daughters missed Mr Chandler every day and “every proud moment or milestone” now “has a gap that no one can fill”.
