Rebo Beton Pumping Ltd. has been fined $16,829.60.

A Kelowna-based company is facing a hefty fine from WorkSafeBC after a workplace accident that left one worker seriously injured and sparked a fire in the boom truck.

According to a decision released by WorkSafeBC, Rebo Beton Pumping Ltd. was supplying concrete for a four-storey apartment building under construction, when the boom of the pump truck made contact with an energized overhead conductor. “A worker for another firm was holding the suspended end of the concrete pump nozzle at the time and was seriously injured,” the decision said.
