Irving Shipbuilding has pleaded guilty to an occupational health and safety charge related to the death two years ago of a worker who was struck during snow-clearing operations at the company’s shipyard in Halifax.
A lawyer for the company entered the plea Friday in Halifax provincial court to a count under the Occupational Health and Safety Act that alleged the company had failed to create a safe-working plan for snow removal at the Halifax Shipyard.
Jamie Knight, 43, died Feb. 19, 2024, after being hit by a wheel loader, a tractor-like piece of equipment with a large bucket on the front.
Irving Shipbuilding was arraigned on health and safety charges last July.
The company will be sentenced on April 24.
