CRM of Canada Processing ULC has been fined $125,000 after a worker employed by a third-party trucking company was fatally injured at the company’s rubber recycling facility in Brantford, Ont. while removing a bin.

September 1, 2022

The company was convicted Aug. 16, 2022 by Justice of the Peace Eileen Walker following a guilty plea in provincial offences court in Brantford. The incident occurred March 3, 2021. The employer breaks up used tires into small crumb pellets that can be more easily recycled into new product. During the process, a fibrous material is released as a byproduct which is collected and compacted into an industrial container and then trucked off the premises by a third-party trucking company.

A limit switch interlocked with the movement of the ram is located at the discharge end of the compactor, states a court bulletin, adding when correctly positioned and activated, this switch is in physical contact with the container and signals to the compacting ram that it can continue to pack the container because the container is in the correct and secured position. If the limit switch device is not activated or is not in contact with the container, the ram does not operate.
