Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety | Hundseth Power Line Construction has pleaded guilty in Yorkton Provincial Court to one violation of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020.
The company was charged with contravening clause 3-1(c) of the regulations (being an employer, fail to comply with the duties of an employer at a place of employment including the provision of any information, instruction, training and supervision that is necessary to protect the health and safety of workers at work, resulting in a serious injury of a worker).
As a result, the Court imposed a fine of $50,000, along with a victim fine surcharge of $20,000, for a total fine of $70,000. One charge was withdrawn.
The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on 16 April 2023, near Canora, Saskatchewan, in which a worker was seriously injured while working on a power pole.
