Wait for it…….Wait for it……

Worksafe BC heading to seen to make sure this never happens again, BC Safety Authority looking for butt plug.

there it is

I hope all the workers make 100% recovery.

Wishing the injured make a speedy recovery. My thoughts are with the people of Burns Lake, this must bring back some horrible memories.

When will WCB do REAL inspections? Show up randomly, at these sawmills – instead of giving 10 days to 2 weeks notice?

Contractors who travel from mill to mill, doing work similar to the work done at Pinnacle, know which mills are clean and which are dirty – but WCB doesn’t.

Have they been given the mandate to protect corporate $ and jobs over worker safety?
