Andrew Gnazdowsky, 26, drowned on Oct. 16, 2020, while trying to retrieve a piece of floating surveying equipment that had malfunctioned in the Marshall Falls reservoir in Sheet Harbour, N.S.
Nova Scotia Power properly examined the risks related to a dam survey project three years and shouldn't be found guilty of regulatory charges related to a drowning at the site, a lawyer for the company argued Wednesday in a Halifax courtroom.
Nova Scotia Power is one of three companies facing numerous charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act in connection with the 2020 workplace death of engineer Andrew Gnazdowsky in Sheet Harbour, N.S.
