Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Zimmerman v. Correctional Service of Canada, 2018 OHSTC 14 (CanLII):
The appellant asserts that any delay in summoning assistance and responding to a call for assistance can result in injury to a correctional officer. To illustrate this fact, the appellant refers to the decision in Zimmerman v. Canada (Correctional Service), 2013 OHSTC 34, in which the appeals officer wrote that the unchallenged evidence of this case demonstrated that “33 stab wounds and 50 head blows could be delivered by someone in as little as seven seconds”.
