Two employers pleaded guilty to charges in separate violations under The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996.
7262265 Manitoba Ltd. pleaded guilty in Saskatoon Provincial Court on October 5, 2020, to violating one count under the regulations.
The company, operating as Matt Reimer Construction, pleaded guilty to contravening subsection 201(1) of the regulations (being an employer, failed to ensure that every hoist, crane and lifting device, including all rigging, used at a place of employment is designed, constructed, installed, maintained and operated to perform safely any task for which the hoist, crane, lifting device or rigging is used, resulting in the death of a worker).
