Charges have been laid against a Timaru lumber yard in which a toddler died when a log fell on him last year.
Felyx Hatherley died at Point Lumber in Washdyke after a log rolled on him in March 2016.
A Worksafe spokesman confirmed two charges have been laid against the lumber yard, and a court appearance is scheduled for February 21.
Fairfax reported the charges were laid under Section 6 (Employers to ensure safety of employees) and 15 (Duties of employers to people who are not employees) of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992. There is a maximum fine of $250,000.
Felyx's parents, Chadae Preston and Paul Hatherley, told Fairfax the lumber yard was Hatherley's former workplace, and they had not wanted charges to be laid.
