Port Mellon

WorkSafe BC is investigating an accident at a Port Mellon log sorting operation.

The WorkSafe inspection report says a worker was struck by a log chunk that fell off a bundle of logs at the Avalon Dryland Sort on June 30.

The employee, whose name is not being released, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to hospital in Vancouver.

The WorkSafe report also says the company, Molehill Mountain Ventures of Kamloops, voluntarily shut down log handling operations at the site until July 4.
