Excerpt from the government of Ontario’s ‘Newsroom’
A worker, employed by the Corporation of the City of Greater Sudbury, was fatally injured when they became entangled in the machinery of a sand spreader while the auger inside was powered on. The Corporation of the City of Greater Sudbury failed, as an employer, to ensure that machinery with an exposed moving part was equipped with, and guarded by, a guard or device to prevent access to the moving part, as prescribed by Ontario Regulation 851, and contrary to the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
