In a release, the province said the company pleaded guilty to the charges in Regina Provincial Court on Feb. 9, 2021.

The second batch of charges stem from an incident that took place on Feb. 6, 2019, where a worker was seriously injured after a machine moved while the person was trying to put out a grease fire.
The company pleaded guilty to charges related to this incident, for contravening clause 137(1)(a) of the regulations, which includes being an employer, fail to provide an effective safeguard where a worker may contact a dangerous moving part of a machine, resulting in a serious injury to a worker.
