A company has been fined $46,000 for an occupational health and safety violation that resulted in the death of a worker in northern Saskatchewan.
B.C.-based D.J. Drilling pleaded guilty to one count of failing to ensure that all work at the site was sufficiently and competently supervised.
The company, which operates in Saskatchewan as J.D. Drilling, was charged after an employee died at an exploration site on Cree Lake in February 2011.
The man, whose name hasn’t been released, was clearing a drill pad with a bulldozer when it broke through the ice.
Three other charges against the company were stayed.
