A Vancouver company building a multi-storey residential complex in Victoria has been fined $43,359.04 for failing to provide fall protection for an employee.
WorkSafeBC said the VPAC Construction Group was fined for a “high-risk and repeated violation” on the job site. One of the company’s workers was seen by WorkSafe inspectors doing a roof sheeting job without any fall protection, exposing the worker to a potential fall of 6.7 metres, or about 22 feet.WorkSafe said construction jobs have the highest injury rates, about 3.37 per 100 workers — higher than the overall provincial workplace average of 2.24.
