Widow whose Salmon farm worker husband, 58, was crushed warns 'others will die' ... trends now
A widow whose partner was killed while working for one of Scotland biggest salmon farm operators has accused bosses of failing to improve safety standards - despite the firm admitting criminal charges over his death.
Claiming little has been done to protect staff, Catriona Lockhart issued a stark warning: 'Others will die unless lessons are learned.'
Clive Hendry, an experienced fish farm worker, was crushed as he stepped between a boat and a feed barge in February 2020 while working for Mowi, a Norway-based seafood company that operates across Scotland.
This month the firm was hit with a huge fine after it admitted breaching health and safety legislation in relation to the death of Mr Hendry. But Ms Lockhart, 56, has gathered evidence which, she claims, shows fish farm workers are still being put at risk.
She has also been contacted by a Mowi whistleblower who has told her safety drills are still not being held regularly.

Ms Lockhart is now demanding a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) to fully investigate the circumstances of Mr Hendry's death.
Speaking to The Scottish Mail on Sunday, she said: 'What haunts me is Clive must have been terrified.
'He had the most horrific death. I have to find out exactly why he died. I truly believe it will happen again and I need lessons to actually have been learned.
'They admitted some failings in court but that did not go into enough detail to expose what they did wrong. They say things have changed but I don't believe they have. There needs to be an FAI.'
