In this assignment, you are asked to read the scenario below and answer the questions at the end. A fatality occurs in a workplace when a worker operating a forklift loses control during a tight turn and runs into the warehouse racking. A large section of the racking collapses crushing a worker. The Ministry of Labour has investigated and found: That the forklift operator was a recent hire and was not trained or certified to operate the forklift, Witnesses reported the forklift operator was traveling at high speed just before the crash, The racking throughout the warehouse was in poor condition and showed signs of previous damage, although the supervisor stated that he was unaware of any incidents, The employer was unable to provide any records of inspections of the racking or engineering reports verifying the allowable weight limits, The warehouse routinely operates with no supervisor present, The employer’s safety program had not been updated for several years and no records were available to demonstrate that any training had occurred in the last 3 years, Although the workplace regularly employs 60 people, there is no joint health and safety committee The company pleaded guilty to all charges and has been fined $ 250,000. A supervisor has also been fined $12,000.
