West Jutland company ordered to act after fatal accident

Funkisfood near Skjern received an immediate injunction from the Danish Working Environment Authority following a fatal accident involving a 57-year-old female employee. She was mixing products for muesli bars when pallets fell on her, as another employee was moving goods with a forklift. The Danish Working Environment Authority ruled the unstacking work was not done with adequate safety. Despite colleagues’ first aid efforts and a medical helicopter’s arrival, the woman died at the scene. An investigation is ongoing, with potential for a police report or a fine for the company. Funkisfood procures, processes, and manufactures mainly grocery products, including nuts, seeds, and muesli.
