KELOWNA, B.C.
— An owner's manual outlining the required use of approved safety helmets, seatbelts and cab netting for the operation of a utility vehicle was found near the scene of a rollover accident that resulted in the death a BC Wildfire Service firefighter, says a workplace investigation report.
Muise was helping to battle the Donnie Creek wildfire in northeast British Columbia, one of the largest wildfire's in provincial history.A report Wednesday into the death of firefighter Devyn Gale, 19, last July cited ineffective hazard management by the BC Wildfire Service, inadequate supervision, training and orientation of young workers, unsafe work procedures and normalization of risk.
"As the UTV went over the steep embankment, the driver-side front tire dug into the side of the embankment, causing the UTV to shift," said the report."This resulted in the rear of the UTV swinging around and crashing into the ground, and the UTV rolling onto the passenger side." WorkSafeBC's Occupational Health and Safety incident investigation report cited safety regulation violations that included, allowing an operator to use a vehicle where a worker was not wearing the complete seatbelt assembly and a failure to ensure the safety of its workers.
