Rule change after quarry death
New safety measures are being brought in at a quarry in North Derbyshire, following the death of a truck driver.

Charles Edward Green, 53, from the Wirral, Merseyside, was killed when a runaway forklift truck crushed him.

The accident happened at the Cavendish Mill in Stoney Middleton in March last year.

The site owners, Glebe Mines Limited, have now created a lorry "holding area" to prevent a build-up of vehicles near the warehouse.

Mr Green was walking on site when a forklift truck rolled towards him crushing him against a mechanical loader.

An inquest ruled his death was an accident.

The Health and Safety Executive says no company has been prosecuted but the accident is still under investigation.
