Excerpt from the government of Ontario’s ‘newsroom’
A worker, employed by Andritz Hydro Canada, of Pointe-Claire, Quebec, a company that supplies hydro turbines and generators in Canada, was critically injured after being struck by a falling sole plate. By not ensuring the sole plate was adequately braced, Andritz Hydro Canada failed, as an employer, to ensure that the measures and procedures were carried out at the workplace, contrary to section 25(1)(c) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
