AbitibiBowater officials say two workers injured in an industrial accident in Thunder Bay Tuesday have been treated for their injuries and released from the hospital. 

The pair suffered only minor injuries at the company's sawmill on the Fort William First Nation, when a grinder hood fell from a maintenance crane.

A stop work order has been issued by the Ministry of Labour while they investigate the incident.

But company officials say the order will not impact operations, as the mill was already in a planned work stoppage.
