Ideal Train Tile Ltd. has been fined $110,000 after pleading guilty in the death of a worker who received a fatal electric shock in July 2013.

The man was working alone on a machine from an elevated forklift platform, but there was no one operating the forklift - as required, and the machine he was working on was not powered off.

He was found unresponsive, with the exposed and burnt prongs of a plug in his hand.

According to Ministry of Labour, the worker had been provided generic lock-out training but had not been trained on how to specifically lock out the machine being worked on.

Ideal Drain Tile Ltd. pleaded guilty to failing "to ensure that the controls of the forklift were attended to and operated by another worker while a worker was on the elevated platform."

The court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act.
