Marwood denies charges after August injury
Company faces Occupational Health and Safety Act charges after accident last summer
A wood-products manufacturer from the capital region is headed to trial on three workplace-safety charges filed after an investigation by WorkSafeNB last year.
The province’s workplace-safety watchdog agency laid three charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act against Marwood Ltd. of Tracyville last month.
The business is accused of failing to take reasonable precautions to ensure the health and safety of employees by modifying its hydraulic system without an evaluation of risk of injury; failing to set up a written lockout procedure for a timber incisor, and failing to provide directions on how workers can use machines in the workplace safely.
