A company where a worker died after his clothing got caught in a machine says it "respects" an inquest's conclusion that a lack of training or communication was likely to have been a contributing factor. 

Nathan Hook suffered a severe head injury in an industrial incident at Berry M&H Plastics in Beccles on October 7, 2021.

The 34-year-old, from Lowestoft, had been using a Colchester Mastiff 1400 Lathe when his clothing became caught.

An inquest into his death this week saw a jury conclude a lack of training or communication of risks was "likely" to have contributed to the death.

In a statement, Berry M&H Plastics said: "The death of Nathan Hook was felt deeply by the company and staff. Our thoughts remain with his family.

"The company has assisted the coroner’s office throughout its investigations and respects that the jury has reached the conclusions given.

"This was a tragic event and the loss is felt deeply by many.  The company will continue to offer its condolences to the family."
