Company, supervisor deny WorkSafeNB charges
April 2023 counts under Occupational Health and Safety arose after chemical-burn incident
A Nackawic company that undertook a job at a mill in the community denied charges Monday related to a workplace chemical burn in 2023, as did a site supervisor at the scene.
Two separate prosecutions - one against a Nackawic business, and another against an individual - were before Fredericton provincial court Monday but flowing from the same workplace accident in the spring of 2023.
Maritime Pressureworks Ltd. is charged under the Occupational Health and Safety Act with failing to provide necessary protective equipment for handling a chemical agent (Green Liquor), failing to acquaint an employee with any hazards involved in handling of that chemical agent, and failing to ensure that work was competently supervised at the jobsite.
