SaskPower was sentenced and now faces a historic workplace fine of $840,000, the largest in Saskatchewan’s history.
The penalty follows three safety violations that led to the deaths of two experienced employees, Scott Bill and Cole Crooks, in October 2020 when their bucket tipped over in Weyburn. Family members and IBEW Local 2067 representatives attended the hearing.
The fine surpasses the previous record of $560,000 for a workplace fatality. SaskPower said it is reviewing the court’s decision and reaffirmed its commitment to safety.
