Outlook Organization Pleads Guilty to OHS Charge After Workplace Fatality

Released on March 20, 2014

The South Saskatchewan River Irrigation District No. 1, Inc. has pleaded guilty to one charge under occupational health and safety legislation and was fined $49,000 in Outlook Provincial Court on March 13, 2014.

The organization pleaded guilty to contravening section 3 of the Act (failure to ensure, insofar as was reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of their worker and did thereby cause his death) and was fined $35,000 with a $14,000 surcharge.  Three other charges against the organization were stayed in court.

The charges relate to a workplace fatality on August 27, 2012.  A worker drowned when he was shutting down a water pump and draining canals near Outlook.

In 2013-14, there have been 74 convictions for occupational health and safety violations with total fines of nearly $540,000.
