A northwestern Ontario mill has been fined 275 thousand dollars for an explosion that killed a worker in 2011.The incident at Terrace Bay Pulp claimed the life of an individual in on Halloween that year.
An investigation determined that welding repairs to a steel tank had been allowed to proceed before the tank had been cleared of hazardous material.
The probe also found that reasonable precautions to the planning and co-ordination of activities in preparing for the work on the tank were not taken by the mill.
The explosion created a 30 foot hole in the roof of the mill and a debris field of about 300 feet.
