Hey there, time traveller!

A Winnipeg company has been fined $60,050 after one of its employees lost three fingers on the job in a workplace incident two years ago.
A 44-year-old worker at Cadorath Plating Co. Ltd. in Winnipeg was injured when a punch press top plate activated and pressed down on his fingers.
The Family Services and Labour Department said in a news release that the company failed to ensure the punch press had safeguards installed to prevent workers from having contact with hazardous points of the machine.
The incident occurred on March 10, 2010. Last Thursday, the employer pleaded guilty in court to a charge of failing to ensure the worker’s safety.
The department said employers should be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure workplaces are safe and employees receive proper training.
