Government of Alberta | A roofing contractor has been fined $200,000 related to a workplace fatality.
Albatross Roofing Ltd, as an employer, pleaded guilty in the Edmonton Court of Justice to one count under the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act for failing to ensure the health and safety of a worker. All remaining charges were withdrawn.
The sentence stems from an incident that occurred 11 December 2023, at a construction site in Edmonton. A worker died after falling through a roof.
The court fined the company $200,000 including the victim fine surcharge and placed it on two years of enhanced regulatory supervision.
The company and the Crown have up to 30 days to appeal the conviction or penalty.
