A Richmond company was fined $2,500 for a "repeated and high-risk violation" for not using fall protection while framing a two-storey house.
S-Way Construction & Framing Inc. was fined by WorkSafeBC after a worker, who was on a 4:12 sloped roof, was seen wearing a fall protection harness that was not connected to a lifeline.
"No other form of fall protection was in place, exposing the worker to a fall risk of about 4.9 m (16 ft.)," reads the WorkSafeBC report.
"The firm failed to ensure fall protection was used, a repeated and high-risk violation."
