The settlement of 658,948 USD comprises 608,948 USD for 34 employees (including overtime and break premiums) and 50,000 USD in civil penalties.

18 Jun 2026 St. Joseph's Healthcare HamiltonHamilton hospital: CA$65,000 after injury caused by known centrifuge defect €40,151
In the teaching hospital's virology laboratory, the lid of a centrifuge fell on an employee who had to hold it open by hand because of a defective gas spring; she was seriously injured. Maintenance reports from 2023 and 2024 had already called for the spring to be replaced. Fine of CA$65,000 plus victim fine surcharge.
A defect documented in maintenance reports that is not remedied makes every subsequent accident foreseeable – defective equipment must be taken out of use.
