The applicant, a worker member of the joint health and safety committee, appealed an inspector's decision not to issue an order against the employer.
The applicant alleged the employer violated the Occupational Health and Safety Act by testing a new bulk emulsive explosive without consulting the committee or allowing a designated member to be present.
The Board dismissed the appeal, finding that the testing was conducted solely to determine the product's efficiency, not for health and safety purposes, and therefore the statutory right to be present did not apply.
