FORT MCMURRAY – An insulation company has been fined $210,000 in the death of a worker who fell through a roof at an Alberta oilsands facility.
The province says the worker had been replacing a building’s metal roof near Mildred Lake, north of Edmonton, in 2023.
It says Pacific Rim Industrial Insulations Ltd. pleaded guilty this week to not ensuring an employee was wearing a harness, a charge under the Occupational health and Safety Code.
Three other charges were withdrawn.
The company has also been placed under enhanced regulatory supervision for the next 18 months.
The company and the Crown have 30 days to file an appeal.
