Domtar has been fined $87 thousand after an arc flash burned a worker's hand and face.
The incident happened in March of 2007 when an electrician was doing maintenance work at its mill in White River. While the worker was testing the voltage inside an electrical panel when an electrical blast occured.
A labour ministry investigation found the worker was not wearing rubber gloves or a shield.
