Safety violations cost construction company dearly CBC North
INUVIK, N.W.T. - Ninety North's lawyer said the company was working in a booming building market and could ill-afford to fire workers who did not comply with safety rules.
Judge Schmaltz said, boom or no boom, Ninety North sacrificed worker safety to meeting construction deadlines and make money.
She said it was playing Russian roulette with the lives of its workers.
Ninety North has its own safety manual, but it seems to be largely ignored.
No one knew it existed until halfway through the sentencing hearing.------------------------------------------- posted 2:41 PM :: reference link ::
