Suncor Energy Inc. — the Canadian oil producer that’s being targeted by activist Elliott Investment Management LP — has racked up 32 safety violations in the past three months amid a special regulatory probe of its sites.
The province’s Occupational Health & Safety division stepped up inspections of Suncor late last year, and that resulted in increased citations, spokeswoman Kristjanna Grimmelt said in an email. The agency’s orders cite problems ranging from general housekeeping matters to fire and explosion dangers.
