Blast probe continues

Rotheram Advertiser 22 March 2011

HEALTH and Safety officials are still investigating the blast at the Sterecycle waste recycling plant in Rotherham.

The plant was closed two months ago after a blast which killed worker Michael Winfrey and left his colleague Peter Davis seriously injured.

Sterecycle has said that it plans to restart waste treatment at the plant, in Sheffield Road, Templeborough, soon.

The company says it has met various requirements put on it after the explosion.

The blast was in one of two autoclave machines and Sterecycle has said it plans to restart operation using the undamaged unit and then bring the other into use after it has been repaired.
