Employee Pleads Guilty to OHS Violation That Resulted in Injury

Released on December 29, 2014

Donovan Belisle pleaded guilty to one count under occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation and was fined $2,030 in Weyburn Provincial Court on December 16, 2014.

Belisle pleaded guilty to contravening subsection 133(8) of regulations (being a worker who operates a vehicle at a place of employment, and not having a clear view of the path to be travelled, did proceed when it was not safe to do so, and in the absence of a signal that it was safe to proceed, thereby causing serious injury to a worker).  Belisle was fined $1,450 with a surcharge of $580.

Charges were laid following a January 12, 2013, incident where a worker was seriously injured on an oil drilling rig near Stoughton, when he was pinned between pieces of pipe that were being loaded onto the tines of a loader.

Since April 1, 2014, there have been 47 convictions for occupational health and safety violations with total fines of more than $531,000.
