A Conception Bay South company and a supervisor have pleaded not guilty to charges laid after a worker was killed at its quarry in 2020.

Triple J. Aggregates is charged with 11 violations of workplace regulations, several of which allege failure to maintain safety guards and take other precautions around a conveyor belt.

Supervisor William Weir faces a single charge of failing to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of all workers on site.

A 62-year-old Fortune Bay man died after he was somehow pulled into the rock crusher that he was operating.

It happened shortly after 7 a.m. on September 18, 2020, a Friday morning.

Five days have been set aside for the trial, which is scheduled for May 29 to June 2.
