Olympic Plastic Bags (1983) Ltd., a plastic bag manufacturer, was fined $85,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act that caused a worker’s death.
On August 13, 2009, at the company’s Toronto plant, a worker and supervisor were removing a horizontal beam from the second level of a racking system. To access the beam, the worker stood on the wooden pallet on a lift truck while the supervisor raised the pallet. The worker had trouble dislodging the beam so the supervisor went to get another lift truck to better access the beam. Meanwhile, the worker, left alone on the raised pallet of the lift truck, fell about 3.5 meters to the concrete floor. The worker died after sustaining severe head injuries as a result of the fall.
