Marwood faces new workplace-safety charges
Tracyville company accused of three counts after injurious accident involving drill press
A Tracyville wood-products company is accused of new workplace-safety violations in the wake of an August accident involving a drill press at its Tracyville facility.
Marwood Ltd. was charged with three counts under the provincial Occupational Workplace Health and Safety Act after a WorkSafe New Brunswick investigation into an incident last summer.
The company is accused of failing to take every reasonable precaution to ensure the health and safety of its employees by modifying its hydraulic system without an evaluation of risk of injury; failing to establish a written lockout procedure for a timber incisor, and failing to provide directions on the safe use of machines used in its workplace.
