PRINCE ALBERT COMPANY AND OWNER FINED OVER $14,000 FOR SAFETY VIOLATIONS

Released on December 3, 2010

Pro Image Roofing and Gutters Ltd. of Prince Albert and its owner Steven McCreary have each pleaded guilty to seven charges under Saskatchewan's Occupational Health and Safety regulations and been fined a combined total of $14,130.

The charges arose after a routine inspection by Occupational Health Officers at a construction work site in Prince Albert on August 19, 2010. Officers observed workers on the roof of a building without fall protection, hard hats or safety footwear, and using an unsecured ladder to access the roof.

Pro Image was fined a total of $11,200 and Steven McCreary a total of $2,930 in Provincial Court.

In June 2010, Pro Image was fined $5,760 after pleading guilty to 16 charges under OHS regulations.

OHS has zero-tolerance for any failure to comply with fall protection and recommends prosecution whenever this is observed.
