There were only 10 OHS fines of $25,000 or more reported across Canada from mid-June to mid-July, tied for the fewest of any 4-week period in 2024. That number would have been even lower but for the unusual fact that 3 of the fines were dished out not by an OHS enforcement agency but a court after a case that actually went to trial. However, the relative decline in fine volume was more than offset by an increase in fine amount, with 4 of the 10 fines exceeding $100,000, including the third highest OHS fine of the year. Result: Of the 66 fines reported during the entire year to date, 30, or nearly 50%, have been in the 6-figure range.
