Toronto, ON-based commercial bakery Fiera Foods Company was sentanced by an Ontario court on Thursday to pay a fine for failing to protect a worker who died after her hijab became caught in a conveyor system, the Ontario Ministry of Labour announced via press release.
Hijab + machinery = Death.
An inspection by provincial authorities found that the firm did not adhere to the Industrial Regulation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act by failing to make the worker secure the loose clothing while working in an area with risk of entanglements.
Hijab, by its very nature, is loose. Making it tight or secure defeats the purpose of wearing it. This is now a no-win situation for such businesses. Don't hire a hijabi Muslim; risk of getting called racist. Hire a hijabi; pay through the nose when the ignorant broad is sliced and diced.
