Ansan Industries fined $72K for various traffic control violations

Inadequate signage, personnel, taper zones among issues

Ansan Industries of Langley, B.C. was fined $72,532 on Jan. 31.

WorkSafeBC inspected three work sites where this firm was providing traffic control services and observed several safety violations: Signage, traffic delineator devices, and taper zones were absent or were not set up at the correct distances from work zones. Single traffic control persons (TCPs) were working in zones where two TCPs were required, and TCPs were working in locations without adequate escape routes. The firm failed to ensure that traffic control equipment, arrangements, and procedures met regulatory requirements, a repeated and high-risk violation
