“The charges give me some peace of mind, but the penalties are kind of a joke: It just seems like a drop in the bucket for what happened,” Bastien said in an interview Friday. “It’s not setting an example.” The ministry alleges Eastway and Greene failed to take reasonable precautions in the workplace by, among other things, ensuring that the diesel fuel to be used in the wet test was not contaminated with gasoline or any other flammable substance. It also alleges Greene and the company failed to ensure the truck tank was free of gasoline or any other flammable substances, and that flammable vapours in the tank were not exposed to a potential source of ignition.
Some former employees, however, have raised questions about the firm’s approach to safety, and Josh Bastien has said his father was so concerned about someone getting hurt at Eastway that he was looking for another job at the time of the accident.
