NOVA SCOTIA COMPANY FINED MORE THAN $40,000 FOR SAFETY VIOLATION

Released on February 8, 2012

Bunge Canada Holdings I ULC (Bunge) of Halifax, Nova Scotia has pleaded guilty to one count under the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act related to a failure to ensure that a worker did not work within 4.6 metres of an exposed energized conductor. The company was fined $42,000 in Nipawin Provincial Court on January 25, 2012.

The charge relates to an August 13, 2009, incident that occurred on a Bunge site in Nipawin. A worker, who was inspecting a railcar, was injured as a result of being electrocuted while attempting to remove foreign material located below a power line.

OHS conducts approximately 4,500 worksite inspections annually to ensure standards are known and enforced. In 2011/2012, there have been 34 convictions for non-compliance of OHS regulations and more than $146,000 in fines.
