A MAJOR whisky manufacturer has been fined £40,000 for health and safety breaches after two workers had to flee a warehouse fire in Glasgow.
The men were filling casks in a warehouse in The Edrington Group's premises when the incident happened on June 29, 2011.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard they were on a metal walkway at the top levels of the warehouse using flexible hoses to fill the 450-litre casks with whisky being pumped from steel vats.
