OHS charges laid after worker seriously injured during Valley Line West LRT construction

CBC21-05-2025
The company constructing Edmonton's Valley Line West LRT line is facing more than a dozen charges for violations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and OHS Code, after a worker was seriously injured on the job in June 2023.
Marigold Infrastructure Partners is facing 14 counts related to a June 23, 2023, incident.
According to the charges, workers were completing temporary post-tensioning of a segment of the Valley Line West project. When one of the jacks pressured up, concrete crumbled and a tensioning bar and jack hit the worker, causing serious injury.
The charges include failure to ensure workers were adequately trained in all matters necessary to perform their work in a healthy and safe manner, failure to ensure the health and safety of a worker and failure to ensure a hazard assessment was repeated when a new work process was introduced.
Marigold Infrastructure Partners was selected to construct the Valley Line West LRT in 2020.
