McDiarmid was the contractor at a residential jobsite in 2010 when a worker employed by a sub-contractor fell from a roof onto an air compressor.
Two other charges against the Manitoba business were stayed.
A Saskatoon-based construction company was also fined in April, this time under the Saskatchewan Labour Standards Act.
Carmen Hill, operating as Hill Framing and Renovations, was found guilty on three charges and fined $600.
The company’s charges included failing to send final wages by registered mail and failing to pay annual holiday dues within 14 days of termination.
