NEWMARKET, Ont.
Concord, Ont.-based Nelmar Drywall Company Ltd. has been fined $50,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was injured in a ladder fall.
In 2007 Nelmar was installing drywall at a construction project on Pine Valley Drive in Vaughan.
The company had subcontracted Golden Progress Renovations, of Scarborough, to do some of the work.
On July 30, 2007, a Golden Progress worker was securing drywall from a ladder. The ladder was not secured and moved, causing the worker to fall to the ground, sustaining rib, pelvis, and shoulder injuries.
Nelmar pleaded guilty under the OHSA to failing, as an employer, to ensure the ladder was placed on firm footing.
