Regina Company Fined for OHS Violations

Released on September 17, 2014

Mobile Propane Services Inc. of Regina pleaded guilty to one count under occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation and was fined $19,600 in Regina Provincial Court on September 10, 2014.

Mobile Propane Services Inc. pleaded guilty for contravening clause 12(a) of the regulations (failure to provide or maintain a system of work or working environment that ensured, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of a worker, by failing to make required repairs to a mobile propane distribution truck).  The company was fined $14,000 with a surcharge of $5,600.

Charges were laid against the company on October 29, 2013, after a worker was filling a propane cylinder and a fire started, burning the worker.

The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety recommends prosecutions where individuals or companies refuse to comply with the provisions of legislation or where significant risk of injury to workers is present as a result of non-compliance.  Since April 1, 2014, there have been 37 convictions for occupational health and safety violations with total fines of $174,570.
