Company fined $400k after worker crushed to death at hay baling plant
On the day of his death, February 1, 2021, Mr Muir stepped on a guard rail to look into the multibaler before the strapping arch of the machine moved and crushed him.
The court heard on Friday how the jury rejected an argument from the defence that Mr Muir's actions were deliberate and an act of suicide.
