Perth County Fabrication entered a guilty plea in court in regard to its role in an on-site accident that led to a worker’s death in November 2019.

Held across Canada and the United States, the annual event aims to raise awareness of the industry's ongoing commitment to building a culture of safety through sharing best practices, tools and resources at job sites and offices.

The message, “Fight for the Living, Mourn for the Dead” reminds workers and employers of the need for constant vigilance when it comes to workplace health and safety.

The Ontario government says it will raise compensation for workers injured on the job, but the proposed change won’t take effect until after the provincial election.

The review will be conducted by the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. Its aim is to assess how occupational illnesses in Ontario are identified, monitored and prevented.
