Vancouver Wharves was found gailty of that charge in August. The facility was charged in con- nection with a December 1996 inei- dent in which ship-loader operator Bill Bernier was seriously injured when a ship-loader was blown off its rails in a windstorm, Bernier was unable to testify at the trial due to injuries he received in the incident. Judge Bill Rodgers, who also heard the pollution charge against Vancouver Wharves, concluded that the lack of storm brakes an the ship-loader was a sufety hazard. Had Bernier known the storm brakes had been removed, he might have acted differently near the time of the incident, said Rodgers. “ut a Vancouver Wharves lawyer argued that the missing storm brakes would not have made any difference in the accident. Alsop said Vancouver Wharves was appealing the $5.000 fine and could not comment on the ruling, The $50,000 pollution fine was the second levied against the bulk facility. A previous $50,000 fine was assessed against Vancouver Wharves in connection with a 199! pollution charge. Bares said a larger fine is nor- mally awarded on a second offence. But Judge Rodgers ‘took into account changes under way at the facility’s berthing area to prevent future spills, He also acknowledged the company’s quick action to clean up the spill and notify the Environment Ministry.

That fatality came 13 days after Vancouver Wharves was fined $15,000 in connection with another unsafe workplace charge. The charge stemmed from a May 9, 1992, incident in which millwright Kyle Rossiter was seriously injured after he fell through a damaged floor in Stacker Tower No. 422.
