In May 2014, V & R Electrical Ltd was involved in a case of unsafe working conditions. She was a victim when an employee was injured in the line of duty. The employee was removing an electrical cable that had not been used. The employee suffered burns. He suffered burns to his neck and face. The electrical equipment was energized and the function was performed directly so as not to disrupt the electrical installation. The company was found guilty of negligence because it failed to train workers on safe ways to handle such equipment. There is a high possibility of such hazards and an unsafe working environment still exists at the Portage-based company..
