Hinstock warehouse collapse: Probe starting after man buried by cheese
Investigations were today expected to begin at the Shropshire warehouse where a man was trapped under hundreds of blocks of cheese for nine hours.
Clean-up operations will also begin at Edwards Transport, in Hinstock near Market Drayton, after racking inside the building collapsed, trapping Tomasz Wiszniewski.
Bosses of the storage and distribution company said the Health and Safety Executive had been informed of the incident, and that it would be looking in to what caused the collapse.
Mr Wiszniewski spent nine hours buried in his fork lift truck under about four metres of 20kg blocks of cheese from about 9am on Friday.
Fire crews, ambulance staff and police all worked to free the worker, from Hadley, Telford, in what is believed to be the largest turn-out of equipment in more than a decade.
Drones, dogs, and microphones were all used in the search until Mr Wiszniewski shouted back, confirming hopes he was alive.
Mr Wiszniewski was not injured in the collapse and was taken to Princess Royal Hospital as a precaution after being freed at about 6pm.
He was recovering at home over the weekend.
