Millard Refrigerated Services Canada ULC, a Brampton warehousing and distribution facility, was fined $75,000 on September 11, 2009, for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) after a young worker was injured.
On March 8, 2008, the temporary worker was putting stickers on boxes and manually loading them into a trailer.

The worker suffered foot and ankle injuries.
