Posted: Sep. 14, 2022 5:23PMWorkSafeBC fined Point Hope Maritime Ltd. more than $84,000 in August following high-risk violations at its drydock, while Verity Construction Ltd. was fined more than $122,000 for violations at a worksite in Langford.
In a penalty summary, the statutory agency says it went to Point Hope Maritime’s drydock shipyard following an incident that saw a worker suffer severe injuries after falling inside the bay of a ferry on site. “The firm also failed to conduct pre-entry testing and inspections and to conduct additional testing in a moderate hazard atmosphere to ensure the worker’s continued safety,” WorkSafeBC said.
“No guardrails were in place on the scaffold, and WorkSafeBC issued a stop-use order for the scaffold,” the agency said. “The firm failed to ensure that elevated work areas had guards or guardrails installed, a repeated and high-risk violation.”
As a welder who came from cowtown and worked in the victoria dry dock...i feel vindicated. HOLY HELL the Work Safe on this island is NUTS!!! its the wild west and i though alberta was reckless... There needs to be more oversight..it's stressful here.
