Neu-Build Construction has pleaded guilty in Swift Current Provincial Court to one violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.

The charge stemmed from a workplace incident that occurred on October 30, 2020, near Maple Creek. A worker suffered serious injuries as a result of being electrocuted while stabilizing trusses.

Neu-Build Construction Inc. was fined $25,000 and a $10,000 surcharge.

The regulation that Neu-Build contravened was being an employer or contractor, fail to ensure that no worker works, no material is piled, stored or handled, no scaffold is erected or dismantled and no equipment or powered mobile equipment is used or operated within the minimum distance from any exposed energized electrical conductor.

One additional charge was stayed.
