A Burnaby construction company is appealing a $168,000 WorkSafeBC fine for an incident that saw a tower crane come into contact with a high-voltage power line at a Coquitlam worksite earlier this year.

No one was injured, according to the reports, and the crane was taken out of use "immediately" until it could be re-certified as safe by a professional engineer.On the day of the incident, an inspector requested copies of Femo's lockout procedures for the crane's remote control and the company's crane collision response plan.
