A worker was fatally injured July 4 while renovating a vacation home on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. Preliminary reports indicate the employee of Weather Tight Supplies Ltd. fell through a skylight at about 1 pm, says WorkSafeBC spokesperson Donna Freeman. The worker succumbed to his injuries the following day, Freeman adds. In British Columbia, an employer is required to ensure that a fall protection system is used when work is done at a place from which a fall of three metres or more may occur, or where a fall from a height of less than three metres involves a risk of injury greater than that from the impact on a flat surface.
