US EditionCranbrook pushing back against $175K WorkSafeBC monster truck fine
EAST KOOTENAY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 18 – The City of Cranbrook contests a $175,000 fine from WorkSafeBC over alleged health violations at a monster truck event, citing clean dirt test results and ongoing investigations.
- On Monday, July 14, the City of Cranbrook disputed WorkSafeBC's $175,000 fine, appealing the sanction after its monster truck event at Western Financial Place.
- WorkSafeBC cited four violations under the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, noting that dirt was not tested prior to the event for the earlier this year incident.
- In its statement, the city disputed contamination, explaining that samples from the dirt pile returned clean results, with tests confirming the dirt was from the 30th Avenue reconstruction project, according to the city.
- While the appeal proceeds, the city of Cranbrook will conduct a separate independent third-party investigation, avoiding penalties at one percent and launching further testing.
- Looking ahead, the City of Cranbrook will continue to update the community and, once the facts are confirmed, will make necessary changes and correct misinformation from our independent third-party investigation.
