Charges laid after accidental amputation
AV Nackawic accused of safety lapses by WorkSafeNB after April 2023 incident at pulp mill
The largest employer in the Town of Nackawic is facing allegations of workplace-safety violations that stemmed from a spring 2023 incident in which a worker lost part of a limb.
WorkSafe New Brunswick, the province’s workplace-safety watchdog agency, filed charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act recently against AV Nackawic, which operates a pulp mill in that community.
Those counts allege that the business failed to provide adequate safeguards to prevent contact with a moving drive and that it failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure the health and safety of an employee, both on April 24, 2023.
