A British Columbia arbitrator has upheld the firing of a worker in a safety-sensitive workplace after the worker failed to report a hazard she caused and then lied about it.

“The plant was a safety-sensitive environment and the worker had received training, so she knew the how important [safety] was,” says Melanie Samuels, chair of the Employment and Labour Group at Singleton Reynolds in Vancouver. “The trust relationship was broken and it’s hard to come back from that.”

Louisiana Pacific Canada (LPC) is a building materials manufacturer with a plant in Dawson Creek, BC. The worker was hired in January 2015.
