PRINCE GEORGE — Ruskin Construction Ltd. of Prince George has been levied a fine of $60,849.07 by WorksafeBC.

It was imposed on December 20, 2023 after a worker was injured at this firm’s bridge construction site.

WorksafeBC says as a crane truck was exiting the bridge, the truck struck and injured the worker. An investigation revealed that there were no designated walkways, or safe work areas separating pedestrians and mobile equipment and no speed limits to ensure worker safety.

WorksafeBC adds the firm failed to ensure it had effective means to protect pedestrians proceeding through hazardous areas with moble equipment.

WorksafeBC says this was a repeat violation.
