Two workers suffer broken backs at the same warehouse

The staff fell and broke their backs at the Manchester warehouse within months of each other.

In June 2016 an employee was working up a wooden ladder when he fell and fractured vertebrae in his lower back.

In August that year, another member of staff fell when a horizontal racking beam came away as they stepped onto it. 

Children's clothing company Roco Clothing was fined almost £40,000 following a local authority prosecution.

The council said the racking had not been correctly installed and had never been inspected.
