Bosley mill workers 'had no safety training at all'

A Bosley mill worker says he was given no safety training whatsoever before he started working there just a week ago.

Scott Cole told ITV News: "There was no safety training at all.

"I went in there to have a brief interview, three minutes, and he told me to start on Monday.

"He didn't tell me how to work the machines, nothing. I just learnt myself. I asked for a protection mask. Three days in, and I still didn't get one."

The Health and Safety Executive is now investigating the causes of the explosion.

The mill owners have said they will cooperate with the process but families of four workers still missing said they were "disgusted" they had not been in touch since the incident happened.
