The employer\u2019s other director and shareholder had been responsible for office management and sales. The director\u2019s failure to attend to the duties that were assigned to him attracted personal liability:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>15 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The trial judge found that whatever the standard of care was, it would not be met by a director blindly delegating everything as to safety to others without any standards, supervision or guidance. He concluded that Epton should have taken precautions to reduce or avoid the foreseeable harm. \u00a0He found Epton breached the standard of care by failing to provide policies and working conditions that would ensure a safe working environment for the workers.<\/p>\n<p>16 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The trial judge found the work-site situation was a direct product of Epton&#8217;s decisions, actions and omissions. He said the events &#8220;were the outcome and product of a corporate state of what might be called consistent negligence&#8221; and this &#8220;corporate state of being&#8221; was a material cause of the accident: 2006 ABQB 21 at paras. 619-620. [emphasis added]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably, the other director, who had not been managing the on-site work, was not found liable.<\/p>\n<p>In another case, the Ontario Court of Appeal held that a director could be held liable for the slip-and-fall accident of an employee in the workplace.<a title=\"\" href=\"#_ftn12\" name=\"_ftnref12\">[12]<\/a>\u00a0 The Court stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>45 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It was said that to reach this conclusion would &#8220;open the floodgates of litigation&#8221;. This in terrorem argument is without foundation. The liability of an executive officer of a corporation will, of course, be dependent upon the facts of the individual case. The factors in determining liability will include the size of the company, particularly the number of employees and the nature of the business; whether or not the danger or risk was or should have been readily apparent to the executive officer; the length of time the dangerous situation was or should have been apparent to the executive officer; whether that officer had the authority and ability to control the situation and whether he had ready access to the means to rectify the danger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Directors are often sued by plaintiffs casting their net broadly with the hope of attaching liability to a defendant with insurance.\u00a0 In evaluating the exposure of the insured and the appropriate indemnity reserve, an insurer may take comfort in knowing that a director will have personal liability for the company\u2019s torts in only rare circumstances.\u00a0 A director will be liable for the company\u2019s tortious conduct only if he has committed an independent tort, often involving an element of illegality or fraud, or if the director has taken a direct role in the operation of the company and in that capacity has committed an independent tort.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr align=\"left\" size=\"1\" width=\"33%\" \/>\n<div id=\"ftn1\">\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Hogarth v Rocky Mountain Slate Inc., 2013 ABCA 57 at para.\u00a0 68.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ftn2\">\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> <i>Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd v Safety Boss Ltd<\/i>, 2012 ABQB 161.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ftn3\">\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ftnref3\" name=\"_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> <i>Kent v Postmedia Network Inc.<\/i><b>, <\/b>2015 ABQB 461.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ftn4\">\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"#_ftnref4\" name=\"_ftn4\">[4]<\/a> <i>Stewart v.
