MOOSE JAW COMPANY FINED MORE THAN $1,000 FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS

Released on November 22, 2013

All Canadian Homes Ltd. of Moose Jaw pleaded guilty to two charges under The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996 and was fined $1,040 in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on November 18, 2013.

The company pleaded guilty to:

  • contravening section 116 of the regulations (failure to ensure that workers use a fall protection system at a temporary work area where a worker may fall three metres or more) and was fined $600 with a $240 surcharge; and
  • contravening section 91 of the regulations (failure to ensure that workers wear approved industrial protective headwear) and was fined $150 with a $50 surcharge.

The charges stemmed from an investigation by an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Officer on May 16, 2012, at a worksite in Moose Jaw.  Two workers were on a roof structure without fall protection or approved headwear.  Two other charges against the company were withdrawn.

OHS conducts approximately 4,000 worksite inspections annually to ensure standards are known, understood, and enforced.  In the last five years, OHS has cited more than 6,300 contraventions for violations in the construction sector.
