Landscaping Company Hit with $318K Fine | Edmonton News
Description
A Calgary landscaping firm, Arbutus Landscaping, faces a staggering $318,000 fine after a worker died falling through a roof in Edmonton last December — a tragedy that led to their guilty plea under occupational health and safety laws. The case underscores the critical duty employers have to protect workers, enforce safety protocols, and prevent preventable disasters. Another company, Albatross Roofing, also involved in the incident, awaits sentencing in September. The hefty penalty includes a victim surcharge, while other charges were dropped — a sobering reminder that safety isn’t optional, especially in high-risk industries, where legal and human costs can be devastating.
