Worksafe NB Charges Two Companies In Two Seperate Deaths

Worksafe NB laying charges against Wal-Mart and Dominion Refuse for two separate incidents that each resulted in the death of a worker.

17-year old Patrick Desjardins died in January after being shocked while using a floor buffer at a Wal-Mart in Grand Falls.

Worksafe NB concluded that the polisher was not in proper working condition and was not being used appropriately.

Meanwhile, 25-year old Adam Harris was killed a year ago when he was struck by a bin being hoisted onto a garbage truck in Blacks Harbour.

Worksafe NB says Dominion Refuse did not provide adequate supervision and training.
