(Wil Krotenko), who lives in Canora, Sask., about 235 kilometres northeast of Regina, says he started feeling sick soon after starting his shift on Oct. 23 when his manager tasked him with cleaning enclosed areas of the meat department with a gas-powered pressure washer.

“I started feeling lightheaded and dizzy,” Wil told Go Public. He says he staggered to the front of the store. “And I guess that’s when I collapsed.”

His condition was so serious that Wil had to be airlifted to Misericordia Community Hospital in Edmonton with severe carbon monoxide poisoning.

Just the day before Wil was poisoned, another teen employee went home sick after using the gas pressure washer.

    What’s needed, says Tucker, are Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs) — severe fines that fill the gap between written orders to fix problems and court prosecution.

    The (Saskatchewan) labour ministry told Go Public it has no plans to implement AMPs.
