THUNDER BAY — The Ministry of Labour is investigating an industrial accident at Resolute Forest Products' Thunder Bay sawmill.

The ministry said the individual was taken to hospital Sunday after he sustained injuries from a piece of equipment.

A spokesperson for Resolute did not respond to an inquiry from Tbnewswatch.

However, sources at the mill said the worker suffered a crushed arm.

A labour ministry inspector accompanied by a ministry engineer visited the workplace Monday.

They issued no immediate orders or requirements to the company.

The mill is located in the Fort William First Nation's industrial park.
