Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development | Following a guilty plea in the Provincial Offences Court in Sarnia, John Harris Concrete Ltd. has been fined $85,000 over an October 2022 incident which resulted in a worker being fatally injured while cutting down a tree at a construction project.
The Court heard how one of the company’s five workers was clearing brush and felling trees from the area around a drainage ditch when they were fatally injured by a tree.
An investigation by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development found that while the worker had been trained to operate a chainsaw safely, they were not trained on tree felling.
