WorkSafeBC has upped the penalty for a Burnaby roofing company whose workers have been caught without proper fall protection six times since 2016.
A WorkSafe inspector reported stopping at the site after spotting a worker on the roof without a fall-protection system, but the worker wasn't alone, according to WorkSafe inspection reports obtained by the Burnaby NOW. During the inspection, the inspector also spotted a ladder that hadn't been set up properly and determined two workers at the site were new to roofing but hadn't had a documented health and safety orientation, as required by provincial regulations.
