A Stouffville-based construction company has been fined $100,000 after a worker was injured on the job.

According to a March 14 court bulletin from the provincial Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development, a construction worker sustained life-threatening injuries when a rope that was attached to a machine pulling an aerial cable over the span of the bridge broke.

The Ministry said that the company in question, K-Line Maintenance and Construction Ltd. had a standard operating procedure in place for the pulling operation that was “successfully used on previous days at the site.” “This variance resulted in a worker being required to stand in a dangerous area for longer than necessary under the standard operating procedure,” the Ministry said.
