ROCKY VIEW, Alta. – A construction firm was recently sentenced to pay a $175,000 fine, including a 15 per cent victim fine surcharge, and serve 16 months of corporate probation for its role in a workplace fatality that occurred on Sept. 8, 2014. According to an undated announcement on the Alberta Ministry of Labour (MOL) website, two employees of Contour Earthmoving Ltd. were walking alongside a forklift that was being used to move a Caterpillar cab in Rocky View that day, but the cab was not secured, and it shifted. One of the workers tried to stop the cab from falling, but it pinned the worker to the ground, resulting in fatal injuries, the MOL stated. On May 31 of this year, Contour pleaded guilty to failing to keep workers out of range of powered mobile equipment carrying a load that could endanger them. Additional charges were dropped, according to the Ministry.
