The AbitibiBowater mill in Fort Frances has been fined for a workplace accident.

The company pleaded guilty last week to a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act following injuries to three people in 2008.

Two electricians and a student received first, second and third-degree burns caused by making contact with a live conductor.

The company has been charged $125,000, as well as a 25-per cent victim surcharge.
