Canada | Regina company fined $575,000 for workplace injury

May 20, 2025

Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety | Evraz Inc. NA Canada has pleaded guilty in Regina Provincial Court to one violation of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020.

The company was fined for contravening clause 10-4 (1) (a) of the regulations (being an employer, failing to provide an effective safeguard when a worker may contact a dangerous moving part of a machine, resulting in the serious injury of a worker).

As a result, the Court imposed a fine of $410,714.29 with a surcharge of $164,285.71, for a total amount of $575,000.

One other charge was withdrawn.

The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on 4 December 2022, in Regina, Saskatchewan when a worker suffered serious injuries while inspecting the underside of sheet metal as it was being mechanically moved through the metal slitting machine.
