Parkland Construction has pleaded guilty to one charge under Nova Scotia's Occupational Health and Safety Act related to the death of a 21-year-old employee.

Alan Fraser fell to his death from the sixth floor of a Clayton Park apartment building on Nov. 7, 2013.

The company had been facing six charges related to the incident, which happened at a construction site on Greenpark Close.

During a court appearance last week, Parkland pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to comply with code protection (fall prevention).

The company will return to court May 17 for sentencing. The remaining charges will also be dealt with at that time.
