The Ontario Labour Ministry has charged Veolia ES Canada Industrial Services and an on-site supervisor in a deadly explosion at the company's Scott Rd. plant in Sarnia last October.
Veolia faces six charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act including two counts of failing to take every precaution reasonable for the protection of a worker.
It's alleged the company did not cease the metalizing process at the workplace after being warned of hazards by its engineers and failed to ensure the dust collector was suitable for the process.
In addition, an individual is charged under the Act as a supervisor.
Both parties will make their first appearance in Sarnia court November 13.
Six people were sent to hospital, five with serious injuries, following the explosion October 25, 2014.
37-year-old Jason Miller later died of severe burns.
The blast, that originated in a dust collection system outside of the paint shop, damaged a section of cinder block wall and caused part of the roof to collapse.
