Excerpt from the Government of Ontario’s ‘Newsroom’
Resform Construction Ltd., a Cookstown construction company specializing in formwork, was fined $50,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was injured. Justin Lowes, a supervisor with the company, was fined $3,000 in relation to the same incident.
This will be my last blog for the year and I wanted to make this one a little more personal.
Angela and I went out for dinner the other night and a minor incident took place. A large plastic snowflake fell onto one of the tables where, just a few moments earlier, a large family was sitting. I went over to the broken snowflake, picked up most of the pieces and called over the nearest waitress. An explanation was given that Angela and I are health and safety professionals and suggested that the issue should be handled the same as an accident would have. As I mentioned to the waitress, the incident barely missed the family by only a few minutes. I also mentioned that there were five or six other snowflakes hanging in the restaurant and the same thing could happen to one of them with much direr consequences.
