Occupational Health and Safety Branch Lays Charges Against Grand Falls-Windsor Company
The Department of Government Services announced today
that a Grand Falls-Windsor company has been charged with three alleged
violations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and
Regulations. The charges arose from an inspection which occurred in
Grand Falls-Windsor in November 2006. No accident or injury had
occurred. JEB Enterprises Ltd. is alleged to have violated
legislation requiring fall protection when working above 3.05 metres,
and requiring proper sills and guardrails when using scaffolding. The first appearance for the company is scheduled for
September 23, 2008, at Grand Falls-Windsor Provincial Court. The charges are the result of an investigation by the
Occupational Health and Safety Branch. - 30 -
