Metal forging company IMT Corporation fined $60,000 for safety violation
ST. CATHARINES, Ont.
Metal forging firm IMT Corporation has been fined $60,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act that caused an injury to a worker.
On March 11, 2009, a worker at the company’s Port Colborne facility was greasing a die machine. The worker accidentally stepped on a pedal that activated the machine.
The die fell on the worker’s forearm and crushed it.
A Ministry of Labour investigation found that the machine had not been locked out.
