Norfolk County waste disposal company fined after pleading guilty in death of worker, an Ontario dad of 3 | CBC News LoadedA waste disposal company in Norfolk County, Ont., pleaded guilty to contravening the Occupational Health and Safety Act and agreed to pay a fine in relation to a worker’s death in April 2022. In a victim impact statement, his daughter said, "I will spend the rest of my life grieving the loss of my father.

The company's operations manager, Doug Gatward, confirmed its guilty plea at the August court hearing. CBC Hamilton listened to a recording of the proceeding. Ministry of Labour lawyer Judy Chan said it's unclear why the truck crashed, but it is clear the waste disposal business had no system in place to ensure drivers were aware of how to safely operate the vehicles in the right-side-stand position.

Failing to provide information, instruction and supervision to Richard in order to ensure he could safely operate the vehicle is contrary to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the parties agreed.An obituary for Richard posted on a Norfolk funeral home's website describes him as a proud husband and father of three.

"Every day there's something that reminds me of JR or something I hear or experience, and I want to text him or call him to tell him about it, but I can't. I still expect him to walk through the door and tell me about his day. I miss his smile, I miss his laugh, I miss everything."Ontario is revamping how it compensates injured migrant workers.
