A labour tribunal has ruled in favour of a Trois Rivieres man who claims he got cancer from exposure to radiation at work.
In a judgment released earlier this week, the tribunal said that Sucre BBR did not properly inform its workers of the risk involved with working near one of its X-ray machines.
Michel Plante was working at the sugar refinery as the director of quality control and part of his tasks involved using an X-ray machine to examine sugar to ensure it was free of metal.
