Construction company fined $300,000
McNabb Construction has been fined $300,000 inclusive of the 15 per cent victim fine surcharge by the government of Alberta.
On May 1, 2015, in Forestburg, Alta., a worker was positioned under a gravel crushing cone liner that was suspended by an overhead crane when an attachment point gave away, fatally crushing the worker. This was the worker’s third day with this employer.
McNabb Construction pled guilty to section 13(1) of the OHS Regulations, failure to ensure that work would be done by a competent worker or a worker working under the direct supervision of a competent worker.
All other charges were withdrawn.
