Two companies have been fined a combined £2.4 million following the deaths of two sub-contractors at a poultry processing plant, in a case that has raised serious concerns over industrial safety standards.

Jonathan Collins, 34, and Neil Moon, 49, arrived at a Norfolk chicken factory for routine pest control work. Both were found dead inside a refrigerated unit, killed by a oxygen-depleted atmosphere in a narrow passageway on the site.

Their 2018 deaths prompted a six-year investigation into safety procedures at the site. In court, the companies involved – Banham Poultry Limited and Air Products Plc – admitted breaching health and safety laws.

Prosecutors said their failures directly contributed to the deaths.
