The Department of Government Services announced today
that a Lewisporte company has been charged with five violations of the
Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations. The charges
arose from an inspection which occurred in Grand Falls-Windsor in
October 2008. No accident or injury had occurred.
Sunshine Roofing Co. Ltd. is alleged to have violated
occupational health and safety legislation requiring fall protection,
eye protection, foot protection, safe means of access to a roof, and an
appropriate first aid kit.
The company had its first appearance at Grand
Falls-Windsor Provincial Court on April 1. Its next appearance is
scheduled for May 5.
The charges are the result of an investigation by the
Occupational Health and Safety Branch.
