BARRIE, Ont. – A provincial court has ordered the Corporation of the Town of Innisfil to pay a fine of $100,000, plus a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge, for its role in an incident in which a worker was knocked unconscious early last year. A court bulletin from the Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) stated that three municipal workers were moving equipment and machinery onto a trailer on Jan. 27, 2016, when a two-metre-high shelving unit struck the side of the trailer and fell onto one of the employees. The worker was knocked out for a considerable amount of time and left with critical injuries. A subsequent MOL investigation found that the employer had failed to use a competent signaller when the trailer operator did not have a full view of the intended travel path. The Town of Innisfil later pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice in Barrie to violating Section 56 of the Industrial Establishments Regulation, and Justice Cecile Applegate passed sentence on Aug. 30 of this year.
