Construction Company, Individuals, Fined for OHS Violations

Released on June 23, 2014

A construction company and two individuals pleaded guilty to charges under occupational health and safety legislation in Estevan Provincial Court on June 16, 2014.

Glen Peterson Construction pleaded guilty to contravening clause 8(1)(b) of the regulations for failing to give notice to the Occupational Health and Safety Division, as soon as was reasonably possible, of an accident that caused a worker to be admitted to a hospital as an inpatient for a period of 72 hours or more.  The company was fined $1,400.  Two additional charges against the company were stayed.

Dwayne Lazar and Kirk Parazader pleaded guilty to contravening clause 4(a) of the regulations for failing to take reasonable care to protect the health and safety of workers by allowing them to work in a trench that was not protected from cave-in or sliding materials resulting in injuries to workers.  Lazar, a supervisor with the company and Parazader, an employee, were each fined $4,900.

All of the cases were related to an incident that occurred on August 18, 2011, when a worker was injured by falling debris while working in a trench in Estevan.

In 2013, the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety’s Occupational Health and Safety division conducted 765 inspections of workplaces in the construction sector.
