A Winnipeg roofing company has been fined more than two years after after a worker was injured in a fall from a roof.
Workplace Safety and Health says the Norwin Roofing Ltd. employee had been clearing debris off a roof in March 2020 when he fell roughly 20 feet to the ground below.
The worker hit a small roof portion while falling, which left them with internal injuries as well as rib and spinal fractures, the province said in a Wednesday media release.
Earlier this month, Norwin Roofing Ltd. pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that a worker used a fall protection system while working at heights where a guardrail had been removed, under the Workplace Safety and Health Act.
The courts have ordered Norwin Roofing Ltd. to pay a fine of $24,000.
