A Saskatchewan Court has ordered Brandt Industries Canada Ltd. to pay $55,000 in relation to the worker being seriously injured in 2021. Brandt Industries was sentenced in provincial court on Oct. 27 after being found guilty of one violation of occupational safety regulations. The violation stemmed from the employer failing to “ensure that only trained operators are required or permitted to operate mobile equipment, resulting in the serious injury of a worker.” The court imposed a fine of $39,286.71, along with a surcharge of $15,713.29, for a total of $55,000. The charges stemmed from an incident on Sept. 2, 2021, in Regina. A worker was seriously injured while operating a forklift.
