NEWMARKET, Ont. – A Vaughan, Ont. company that manufactures plastic bottles was recently sentenced to pay a $100,000 fine, plus a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge, following the death of a worker from a machine accident last year. The incident occurred at the CRS Plastics Ltd. facility on March 29, 2014, according to a court bulletin from the Ontario Ministry of Labour. A temp worker was removing bottles from a blow-mould machine that day, but the guard for a moving part in the machine was undergoing repairs and had not been replaced. The worker was fatally injured when he came into contact with the moving part. At the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket, CRS later pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that a machine with a dangerous moving part was properly guarded. Judge Marie-Christine Smythe imposed the fine on Aug. 17 of this year.
