The company pleaded guilty to failing to ensure proper measures were taken when a machinery spring was replaced during maintenance at its Dufferin Aggregates quarry south of Acton. Acton site manager Rob McDougall said a hydraulic jack came free and a spacer struck the employee during routine maintenance on a stone feeder. The employee, who was never identifi ed, completely recovered and is still working for the company. We worked in conjunction with our joint health and safety committee and the Ministry of Labour to develop a new procedure to do that particular maintenance task, and it no longer incorporates the jack and the spacer, McDougall said on Tuesday. He said the decision to plead guilty, which in addition to the fi ne includes a 25 per cent surcharge for a fund to assists crime victims, was made at a much higher level than his position. McDougall said the Acton quarry just celebrat- ed reaching one-year of no lost time accidents, and internal company safety audits show the Acton facility regularly scores in the 90 per cent range. Acton quarry fi ned for 2005 accident By Frances Niblock As Halton staff work on a new waste collection contract and a new waste collection bylaw, the Regions four municipal councils are being asked what level of waste management services they want, and will pay for. Town staff said Halton wants to set a base level of service to coincide with the new waste bylaw, and that it is important for Halton Hills to request desired levels of services so Halton can determine how much they would cost. In a briefi ng to Town Coun- cil on Haltons proposed collection services this year and the proposed bylaw, Rob Rivers, Haltons di- rector of waste management said the base level of ser- vice includes a new weekly GreenCart kitchen waste col- lection, weekly collection of Blue Box material and every other week collection of gar- bage with a six-bag limit. From February through October, bulk waste will be collected once every four weeks with a limit of three items per collection and nine collections per household per year.
