Supervisors were involved in several violations under the Provincial Offences Act in 2011, as told by Ministry of Labour. Part I summons is an offence in which the offender has to attend the hearing in court and if declared, pay a fine of $1,000. The offences forced Supervisors to ensure every worker wear Safety equipments and head gear for fall protection and to ensure the safety of workers with protected railings.
