Building boom leads to more falls, injuries on job By Michael McCullough
B.C.'s red-hot home-building market is creating a new problem for the Workers Compensation Board: a rise in falls from rooftops.
Falls on the job site caused more than 400 serious injuries between 1998 and 2002, resulting in more than $32 million in claims, the Crown corporation reported Monday.
General labourers and carpenters have the greatest number of falls, and each claim typically costs $7,440 and 50 work days lost.------------------------------------------- posted 7:31 AM :: reference link ::
