CONCORD, ONT. — Concrete forming contractor Camp Forming Ltd. of Concord, Ont. has been fined after a worker was injured in a 2024 incident.
On Feb. 28, 2024, a worker was cleaning one of the rollers of a Telebelt telescopic boom conveyor while its belt was in motion. The worker’s upper body was inside an opening under the main conveyor system.
When the worker went to move away from the conveyor belt while it was still moving, their coverall was caught on the conveyor’s belt, causing an injury, an Ontario court bulletin describes.
A Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development investigation found the worker had not been trained on the safe use, care and operation of the Telebelt conveyor system other than the general orientation training provided by the Telebelt’s vendor at the time of its delivery to the workplace.
On Sept. 12, 2025, following a guilty plea in the Provincial Offences Court in Newmarket, the company was fined $55,000 by Justice of the Peace Rhonda Shousterman.
