Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development | Janco Steel Ltd. was fined $200,000 after a worker was fatally struck by a forklift in April 2022.

A worker offloading a steel coil walked into the path of a moving forklift and was killed. The Ministry found the company failed to use a signaller when the operator’s view was obstructed.

Janco pleaded guilty in Hamilton’s Provincial Offences Court and paid the fine plus a 25 % victim surcharge.
