Elevated boom lift operator not wearing fall protection

WorkSafeBC fined construction company nearly $18,000

Standard Insulation & Siding has been fined $17,935 by WorkSafeBC.

 

This firm was performing siding work activities for a new apartment building under construction in Sechelt, B.C. WorkSafeBC inspected the site and observed one of the firm's workers operating an elevated boom lift without the use of a personal fall arrest system. The firm failed to ensure that workers on elevating work platforms wore personal fall arrest systems, a repeated violation.
