Worker seriously injured in fall at Sombra greenhouse

Lambton OPP and the Ministry of Labour (MOL) are investigating after a worker fell 30 feet while replacing greenhouse roofing material at EnviroFresh Farms in Sombra.

Members of the St. Clair Township Fire Department responded to 2690 St. Clair Parkway just after 9 a.m. Wednesday, October 14.

Fire Chief Richard Boyes said firefighters from four stations were on scene and immediately rendered first-aid, assisting Lambton EMS.

“As (the worker) was walking up the incline of the roof, he fell through the walkway to the floor inside the facility," said Boyes.

The man was air-lifted to hospital via Ornge Air Ambulance with what OPP described as serious non-life threatening injuries.

The scene was cleared at around 10:30 a.m.
