BLAINE LAKE, Sask. – A large grain farm in the village of Leask, Sask. has been convicted of failing to report a workplace accident to the province’s occupational health and safety authorities, following a worker injury that occurred on Oct. 29, 2014. That day, a falling tree tipped over a zoom boom on which an employee of Thunder Ridge Farms Ltd. was standing more than seven metres above the ground, according to an Oct. 12 news release from the provincial Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety. The accident resulted in several broken bones for the worker. This year, the employer pleaded guilty in Blaine Lake Provincial Court, near Saskatoon, to failing to notify the Ministry’s oh&s division of a workplace injury that put the victim in a hospital for at least three days. “Employers and contractors are required to notify OHS if a worker sustains an injury,” the Ministry stated in the release. “The notice must contain the names and contact information of the employee and the employer, the date, time and location of the incident, a description of what happened and what the apparent injuries are.” On Oct. 6, the court ordered Thunder Ridge to pay a $1,500 fine, plus a $600 surcharge.
