WorkSafeBC has fined a Valemount-based roofer $1,750 for unsafe work practices.

The levy against Lewis Enterprises was issued Oct. 4, 2016 after a WorkSafeBC inspector observed two of the firm's workers performing roofing work within 1.8 metres (six feet) from the edge without using personal fall protection systems or any other form of fall protection.

They were exposed to a 7.6-metre (25-foot) fall and one of the two was a representative of the firm, the agency said in an online posting.
