Update on Health and Safety incident
Further to the Trading Update and Temporary Suspension of
Trading on AIM announcement made by Accrol Group Holdings plc (the
"Company") on 5 October 2017, the Company announces that, at a
hearing today, Accrol Papers Limited (a directly owned subsidiary
of the Company) pleaded guilty to a single health and safety
regulatory offence arising out of an incident whereby an employee
sustained a serious injury to the top of his right index
finger.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has indicated to the
Company that it is seeking a fine in the range of GBP550,000 to
GBP2.9 million for this incident. The Court has stated that Accrol
Papers Limited will receive maximum credit for its early guilty
plea. Consequently, any fine imposed will be subject to a discount
of one third. Sentencing is expected on 17 January 2018. An
announcement detailing the fine will be made following this
hearing.
The Company takes the health and safety of its employees very
seriously and has co-operated fully with the HSE and its
investigation.
