City of Prince Albert fined $95,000 after worker seriously injured in fall

by HR Law Canada

The City of Prince Albert in Saskatchewan has been fined $95,000 after one of its workers was seriously injured in a fall.

The incident happened on Sept. 22, 2022, when the worker fell a distance “greater than three metres while attempting to dislodge a hose nozzle,” according to a press release issued by the province.

The City pled guilty to one violation of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020.

The company was fined for contravening subsection 9-2 (2) of the regulations (being an employer fail to ensure that workers use a fall protection system at a temporary or permanent work area if a worker may fall three metres or more or there is a possibility of injury if a worker falls less than three metres, resulting in the serious injury of a worker). 

As a result, the court imposed a fine of $67,857.14 with a surcharge of $27,142.86, for a total amount of $95,000.

Two other charges were withdrawn.
