• Waste firm sent for trial over workplace safety breach in Dublin Breach of Safety · Co. Dublin

  Radu Alexandru Chertes, a 32-year-old man, died on 6 April 2022 at the premises of Starrus Eco Holdings Limited, trading as Panda Waste Management Solutions, on Cappagh Road, Finglas, Dublin 11. The prosecution alleges the company failed to maintain a safe system of work, adequate control measures, and proper training, instruction, and supervision for clearing blockages in an M&J Pre-Shred 4000S machine. Following a Health and Safety Authority investigation, the company faces six charges under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. The case was first heard at Dublin District Court in September 2026, where the DPP decided the company would face trial on indictment in the Circuit Court. In October 2026, Judge Anthony Halpin granted a return for trial order, sending the company to the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, where the case is listed for mention on 19 November.
