Murray Wood: Western separation talk borders on the absurd
Western separation isn't new, as Murray Wood reminds us. From fringe parties in the 1980s to bizarre border ideas today,...
A Saskatoon company has been fined $70,000 in connection with a fatal workplace incident in October of 2019.
Sommer Green Forages pleaded guilty in Outlook Provincial Court on Dec. 17 to a violation under The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996. Three other charges were stayed.
According to a media release from the provincial government, the company was charged with failing “to ensure that before a worker undertakes the maintenance, repair, test or adjustment of machine other than a power tool, the machine is locked out and remains locked out during that activity if not doing so would put the worker at risk, resulting in the death of a worker.”
The fatality occurred Oct. 25, 2019, near Broderick. According to the government release, a worker who was clearing the teeth on the roller of a baler became entangled and died.
The court imposed a fine of $50,000 and a surcharge of $20,000.
Broderick is about 85 kilometres south of Saskatoon.
