A Saskatoon construction company has to ante up $24,000 to pay fines levied against it in connection to an incident that left a worker seriously injured.

In a news release from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety, they say in June of 2021, a worker suffered serious injuries after falling from a foundation wall. Another charge against the company was stayed.

The ministry said Song’s Construction Ltd. was fined for failing to provide the information, training and supervision needed to keep its workers safe, resulting in a serious injury.

The worker’s employer, Song’s Construction Ltd., pleaded guilty on March 29 to one charge of violating Saskatchewan’s workplace health and safety regulations and as a result, the Court imposed a fine of $17,142.86 with a $6,857.14 surcharge.
