A company has been fined $100,000 in relation to a workplace injury that occurred in August of 2019 in Yorkton.
Premium Brands Operating GP Inc. pleaded guilty in Yorkton Provincial Court on Nov. 30 to a violation of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
The charge stemmed from an incident on Aug. 9, 2019, when a worker was seriously injured while sanitizing a piece of equipment.
According to the regulations, the company failed to ensure that workers who are required to perform cleaning of pieces of machinery “are trained in the written work practices and procedures, resulting in the serious injury of a worker.”
Three other charges were stayed.
On Jan. 24 of this year, the court imposed a fine of $71,429 along with a $28,571 surcharge.
