Yes, we have our fines as well in the law books. Companies are liable up to $500,000.00 CDN and staff, supervisors and operators, $50,000.00. Jail time to a maximum of 1 year if the operator maliciously and purposely injures/kills another individual with the forklift, and officers of the company, up to $500,000.00CDN for failing to heed the warnings by the Ministry to clean up their act because of multiple workplace related incidents.

Doesn't mean anything if they are not patrolling the streets, does it?

The did a blitz in February of this year, and intend to do another in February of 2010. Lousy time of year since it is so darn cold, plenty of snowstorms and the forklifts are all hiding inside. They should reschedule for a month like May.

AS they say ' Don't worry Danny, when there is an incident, we will hit em hard. Sounds like reactive instead of proactive to me.
