DMI Canada Inc., carrying on business as DMI Industries, was recently fined $55,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act that caused an injury to a worker.
DMI Canada Inc. manufactures and sells windmills and on March 26, 2009, workers were assembling windmill platforms at the company’s plant in Stevensville.
They had used shackles to lift a pre-assembled platform onto a storage cart.
One worker was removing the shackles when the cart tipped over, pinning the worker to a wall.
The cart contained three platforms weighing about 125 kilograms each. The worker sustained internal injuries.
DMI Canada Inc. pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that the platforms were placed in a manner that prevented them from tipping over.
