SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. – The Saskatchewan Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety has convicted and fined a Kelvington-based employer for its involvement in the death of a worker three years ago. According to a news release from the Ministry, the incident occurred on an unspecified date in 2014, at a worksite near Mankota, Sask.; an employee of 101186505 Saskatchewan Ltd. was operating a packer at the site when the vehicle rolled over him, resulting in fatal injuries. The company later pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that the worker had used a restraining device while operating powered mobile equipment, while another charge was dropped. On Aug. 22 of this year, the employer was fined $50,000, plus a $20,000 surcharge, in Swift Current Provincial Court. “Workplace injuries, illness and fatalities are preventable,” the release stated. “Working together, we can ensure everyone gets home safe and sound every day.”
