WorkSafeBC says it imposed a penalty of $43,359.04 against the Vancouver-based VPAC Construction Group on April 20, after a safety officer observed a worker installing sheeting on the roof of a residential building without any fall-protection equipment. Construction workers in B.C. have an injury rate of 3.37 injuries per 100 workers, which is higher than the provincial average of 2.24 injuries per 100 workers, according to WorkSafeBC.
"The non-use of fall protection is an ongoing issue in the sector and resulted in 5,893 injuries in the past five years, including 28 fatalities," the statement said.
