Sobeys Capital Incorporated, the retail grocer, pleaded guilty and was fined $85,000 in the Ontario Court of Justice, on Sept.16 in connection with an injury to a worker, Jan. 19, 2007.
Justice of the Peace Robert Gay heard that a produce manager, trying to retrieve a small produce rack stored on a mezzanine at the chain’s Cambridge store, fell from a ladder and suffered hip and leg fractures and a separated shoulder. A Ministry of Labour investigation found that the employer had contravened a regulation requiring material be cleared in storage areas.
