Two people were seriously injured when welding work ignited a shaker tank later thought to contain fuel.
A Calgary-headquartered company has been penalized more than $42,000 after an explosion injured two workers at a B.C. facility that accepts waste from oil fields.
The explosion lifted and threw off the shaker tank’s steel lid, seriously injuring the workers, according to three WorkSafeBC staff who inspected the facility the same day of the incident. “In review of the incident that occurred at the worksite and the evidence provided, the employer failed to provide effective instruction, training and supervision to their subcontractor,” notes the redacted incident report.
Follow-up inspections carried out in August found Secure Energy had moved into compliance with worker safety regulations.
