A Goderich business has been fined $75,000 following a workplace injury in 2022.
On December 19th maintenance workers and an electrician were repairing a flexible conveyor train which had partially run off the trails at Compass Minerals.
After noticing that the work area was not blocked off and there were no warning signs alerting of a hazard, the electrician assumed the equipment and power were now off, the electrician stepped onto the rail to check the limit switches on the flexible conveyer train when a worker began moving a train resulting in a critical injury.
Compass Minerals pled guilty in court, being fined $75,000 and being imposed a 25 per cent victim surcharge.
