WorkSafeBC has fined three builders, including Onni Contracting Ltd, more than 200K for ‘high-risk’ incidents of things falling from their under-construction condo towers at the Gilmore Place development.
A developer and two concrete forming contractors building condo towers in Burnaby’s Brentwood town centre have been fined more than $200,000 after “high-risk” incidents involving objects plummeting from their under-construction highrises, according to WorkSafeBC.
On Dec. 22, 2022, a truck driver was hit and injured by a five-inch metal grinding disk that fell about 35 storeys from one tower, according to WorkSafeBC inspection reports obtained by the NOW. Then, on Jan. 16, a portion of deck scaffolding fell about 27 storeys from another tower, and a connector piece that ejected on impact hit a worker, according to another inspection report.
Onni was the prime contractor and Cap West the concrete formwork contractor during both of those incidents and both were fined.
