City of Prince Albert Fined for Violating Occupational Health and Safety Regulations
CANADA, August 27 - Released on August 26, 2026
On August 13, 2026, the City of Prince Albert pleaded guilty in Prince Albert Provincial Court to one violation of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2020.
The city violated clause 3-1(a) of the regulations (being an employer at a place of employment, by failing to provide and maintain plant, systems of work and working environments that ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety and welfare at work of the employer's workers, resulting in a serious injury of a worker). Two charges were withdrawn.
As a result, the Court imposed a fine of $92,857.14, along with a victim fine surcharge of $37,142.86, for a total amount of $130,000.
The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on July 4, 2024, in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. A worker was seriously injured after being struck by cement blocks sliding out of a dump box in a raised position.
The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety works with employers and workers to eliminate workplace injuries and illnesses through education, intervention and enforcement.
