11/11/11 Merthyr recycling firm fined over Legionella risk

A recycling company in Merthyr Tydfil has been fined for failing to control the risks of Legionella bacteria during an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease in September last year.

Merthyr Industrial Services (Biomass) Limited was not blamed for the outbreak around the south Wales valleys.

But it was prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for putting workers and the public at risk.

The company was fined £600 by Merthyr magistrates along with £8,577 in costs.
