The company building the west leg of the Valley Line LRT<\/a> has been fined after one of its workers was seriously hurt on the job three summers ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Workers were finishing post-tensioning of a segment of the Valley Line West<\/a> on June 23, 2023, when one of them was injured by equipment.<\/p>\n

The province said that as a jack was pressured up, the concrete crumbled, causing the tensioning bar and the jack to hit and seriously injure the worker.<\/p>\n
