The violation
resulted in an injury to a summer student’s hand in a printing press at the
company's facility in Stevensville, Ontario, in August 2010. A subsequent investigation by the
Ontario Ministry of Labour found that the area of the press where the worker's
hand was drawn into the rollers was protected by a guard, but that the guard
was inadequate to prevent access to the press’s pinch point.
In addition to the $60,000 fine, the court imposed a 25-percent victim fine surcharge, as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.
