After pleading guilty last September, a Calgary company, Trinidad Drilling Limited, was fined this week to the tune of 280 thousand dollars in connection to charges from a worksite incident in June, 2017 near Torquay. A worker was injured when a pressurized hose came into contact with a rotating pipe.

In a different matter, Thunder Creek Pork Lt.d of Regina was fined 60 thousand dollars in Moose Jaw Provincial court this week, in connection to a July, 2018 incident at a worksite in Moose Jaw. A worker was injured after falling from a trailer and landing on a cement floor.
