The Occupational Health and Safety Division of the Workers Compensation Board has wrapped up its investigation into the workplace accident, which occurred in June at Cavendish Farm's New Annan plant.

"We concluded that they've taken every reasonable precaution prior to the incident,"said Occupational Health and Safety director Bill Reid. "We had issued a stop-work order immediately on the process involving the incident. They had taken several steps to ensure that it wouldn't happen again to our satisfaction."
