VANCOUVER, B.C. – A provincial Supreme Court judge has thrown out an allegation that an asbestos-removal contractor violated a 2012 order to comply with British Columbia’s Workers Compensation Act. According to a news release from WorkSafeBC, the province’s workers’ compensation authority, Judge George Macintosh dismissed the application against Seattle Environmental Ltd. on Feb. 26, although WorkSafeBC had offered evidence of the company’s alleged breaches of the Act. Judge Macintosh reportedly told the Court that the order by Madam Justice Russell had not been set out “in unambiguous terms” and had been too complex and vague for the firm to follow. WorkSafeBC said in the release that it would review Judge Macintosh’s decision in detail and consider appealing the verdict. “WorkSafeBC is committed to the safety of all workers and employers in the province,” the organization stated, “and will continue its efforts to reduce occupational disease and fatalities.”
