Cambridge Company Fined $80K for Safety Lapses

0:00A Cambridge-based company just got hit with an $80,000 fine after a worker got injured on a job site in Whippy three years back. Trade, Mark Industrial, was doing maintenance at a steel plant when a section of pipe came crashing down during furnace installation work. The Ministry of Labor pointed out major safety lapses, like not properly bracing temporary structures that could make pipes unstable. A supervisor pushed a worker to use the wrong bolts on a cooling pipe, even after they flagged the issue, leaving one side unsupported while another. Crew shifted connected equipment. On March 3rd, the company pleaded guilty, wrapping up the case with that hefty penalty to underscore the need for better on-site safety checks.
