Graham Begley died in September 2011 at the Jaguar Land Rover plant in Halewood
A car firm admitted failing to have a proper risk assessment in place on the day a worker was crushed to death at its plant in Merseyside.
Graham Begley, 49, was trapped between two pieces of heavy machinery, called dies, at the company's Halewood plant on 26 September 2011.
He was crushed when the dies snagged on chains, Liverpool Crown Court was told.
Jaguar was cleared of a more serious charge of failing to ensure the safety of an employee.

Lawyers for Jaguar Land Rover argued the risk assessment failure was "not causative" in his death.
The court heard that the company changed the way it moves heavy dies to an automated system as a result of Mr Begley's death.
The hearing has been adjourned until Friday when the judge is expected to pass sentence.
