Gul Daad Khan died after falling into a recycling baling machine

A dad-of-six died after falling into a recycling baling machine he was trying to unlock, an inquest heard.

Gul Daad Khan, 36, was working long hours at the site in Digbeth, Birmingham, when the horror accident occurred on October 12, 2016.

The 36-year-old, who was an illegal immigrant, was allegedly earning just over £3 an hour in the job.

The land is owned by Cardboard 4 Cash Ltd, which changed its name in 2018 to C4C Investments Ltd.

An inquest heard the baling machine in question was being leased by Cardboard 4 Cash to another recycling firm, Mr Recycle Ltd.

This firm operated on land at the Liverpool Street site, which was bought by Cardboard 4 Cash Ltd in 2014 for £631,000.

The inquest was told many safety features on the baler had been disabled, no risk assessments had been carried out and no safety equipment was provided to employees.
