Saskatoon Company Fined for OHS Violation

Released on August 25, 2016

On August 18, 2016, Jubilee Ford Sales (1983) Ltd. pleaded guilty in Saskatoon Provincial Court to one count under occupational health and safety legislation.

The company was fined $35,000 for contravening sub-clause 25(2)(b) of the regulations.  Two other charges were stayed.

Charges stem from an incident that occurred on January 29, 2015, where a worker was attempting to repair an overhead door and an anchor bracket became loose.  The door came down on the workers’ forearm causing several fractures.

Employers have the responsibility to ensure safety in their workplace because of their authority and control over the place of employment.  Employers must ensure employees are provided with all training necessary to safely complete a job.  A worker is considered competent when the worker possesses knowledge, experience and training to perform a specific duty safely.  Employers have an onus to prove that workers have been trained.
