Inspectors found issues with vehicle's brakes used by farm labour contractor
Khazan Labour Contractor of Abbotsford, B.C. has been fined $52,199.
WorkSafeBC inspected this firm's worker transportation vehicle in collaboration with the provincial Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) and Employment Standards branches.
The inspection identified numerous deficiencies with the vehicle, including issues with the brakes, which had not been identified in the firm's pre-use inspection.
WorkSafeBC issued a stop-use order for the vehicle.
The firm failed to ensure that vehicles used to transport workers were designed, maintained and operated in a safe manner.
This was a repeated and high-risk violation.
