Brandt Industries Canada has been found guilty in Regina Provincial Court under Occupational health and safety regulations.

The charge stemmed from a workplace incident that occurred on February 6, 2019 in Regina when a worker was injured while operating an overhead crane.

As a result the company was fined $5,000 and has to pay a $2,000 surcharge for a total of $7,000.

The company was charged with contravening subsection 91(1) of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1996 (being an employer, did not provide approved industrial protective headwear and require a worker to use it where there is a risk of injury to the head of a worker, resulting in the serious injury of a worker).
