On July 25th, Grant Forest Products Inc. of North Bay Ontario
was fined $90,000 for an incident that occurred on February
19th, 2002. An employee of Wabi Development Corporation fell
seven meters down into a wood chip separator and suffered leg
injuries while performing an inspection. Wabi Development
Corporation had been contracted to do the maintenance. In
December 2005, they also paid a $50,000 fine for the same type
of incident.
Both incidents found Wabi Development Corporation guilty of
failing to ensure that a worker, who was exposed to a fall
hazard greater than three meters, wore proper fall protection
equipment and received the proper training in its use.
Prevent this from happening to you and your organization; get
