Jesus Heinar Zavala Guevara died on a Saskatchewan farm, thousands of kilometres from his home.

Now the corporate farm has been fined $80,000 after pleading guilty to failing to provide an effective safeguard on a dangerous moving part of the machine, contrary to the the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, according to a Feb. 17 decision issued by Fort Qu’Appelle Provincial Court Judge Kevin Lang.

The PTO shaft running from the tractor to the mill had no guard on it, and it appears as Guevara was attempting to inspect the process, his clothes got snagged by it. His clothes ended up wrapped around the shaft several times and his hands and face “came into contact” with gears and a chain driven by the machine.

Guevara was a “correct and honest person, an excellent husband, father, son, brother and friend,” his widow submitted. The owners and a manager attended court, and the corporation’s lawyer said the “employer family” had taken full responsibility. The family offered condolences and is “extremely remorseful,” the decision reads.
