Agrium has been fined a total of $490 thousand after pleading guilty in connection with an incident at its mine near Vanscoy in August of 2016. A worker was seriously injured when a conveyor belt was started and the worker was struck in the abdomen by cable that was not secured. The United Steelworkers Union is warning other employers that the union will aggressively pursue cases of workplace health and safety failings. The union says this incident happened only two weeks after Chad Wiklun was killed while working at the same potash mine.
