by Gordon Hoekstra – WorkSafeBC changes follow Sun probe into deadly blasts
Vancouver Sun The B.C. government will announce Wednesday changes meant to fill gaps in fire code inspections at sawmills and other industrial plants in small and remote communities, and on First Nation reserves. WorkSafeBC officers, who already inspect sawmills and other industrial facilities for general worker safety, will be trained to check those plants specifically to ensure fire safety. It’s an area in which WorkSafeBC does not normally have jurisdiction. B.C. Safety Authority officers, who have responsibility for heavy industrial equipment, will do the same.
