Company fined after arc flash incident
Diversified Electric Ltd. was fined recently after pleading guilty to two charges under Saskatchewans Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
The charges relate to failing to ensure that a worker used appropriate personal protective equipment while working close to an exposed energized electrical conductor and failing to ensure all work is sufficiently and competently supervised, the provincial government said in a news release.
The company was charged following an incident on July 31, 2008 when there was an explosion at a worksite in Saskatoon and an employee was burned.
The provinces occupational health and safety branch investigated and concluded the company failed to comply with OHS regulations and that contributed to the injury of the worker, the province said.
