A Moose Jaw company pleaded guilty to one count under Occupational Health and Safety regulations in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on October 3, 2018.

The company was fined $17,000 plus a surcharge of $6,800, a total of $23,800 in fines.  Two additional charges were withdrawn.

Charges stem from a workplace fatality on June 16, 2017, at a worksite in Moose Jaw.  A worker fell from the roof of a house while taking measurements.
