Law puts $2M into safer work - By Karen Kleiss, The Edmonton Journal
EDMONTON - An innovative Alberta law is ensuring that the price paid for workplace accidents helps victims and promotes safety -- and doesn't disappear into government coffers.
Since 2003, nearly $2 million in fines paid by companies after workers were injured or killed on the job has gone to charitable groups using a "creative sentencing" option that is unique in Canada.
The program helps ensure that some good comes of tragic situations, say victims' advocates, prosecutors and convicted companies.------------------------------------------- posted 5:54 AM :: reference link ::
