Jas Gill an injured BC Worker and human rights activist from the BC Human Rights Organisation with his
concerns on WorksafeBC and in particular a policy in their Claims and Rehabilitation Manual or more accurately recently removed from their manual. Policy 96.20.
An injured worker in BC is required to turn over to WorksafeBC any expert medical advice and information they receive from their medical people. Worksafe is
required to look at the evidence impartially. Often the worksafe staff are making decisions on medical evidence on file which often does not include worker
supplied evidence
Jas and others have been trying to bring to the attention of the RCMP and others the actions of Worksafe denying medical treatment is more than a Human Rights
abuse to deny the right to proper medical treatment through intentional misdiagnosis. In some claims medical information is delayed or missing from an injured
worker’s claim. This leads to delayed or misdiagnosis and delayed treatments.
These “errors” appear frequently in others claims and can not be excused as the occasional administrative error.
To rectify the situation for both himself and other injured workers Jaz has reached out to the current minister of Labour while he was an opposition member and
later as the Minister of Labour Harry Bains. Minster Bains has been aware of Jaz’s situation since July of 2015 when Jaz approach Minister Bains when his
local MLA Marvin Hunt ended when the MLA asked Mr. Gill il if he was planning on committing suicide, some MLAs such as MLA Adam Olsen of Saanich
North have said it is illegal if they help a constituent. Jaz has video evidence and audio evidence of some MLAs and constituency assistants are carrying
out unethical conduct which is a violation of the government code of conduct and protecting WorksafeBC. This includes the Minister of Labour.
The change of political governing political parties in BC has not change how the regime runs worksafe.
There are investigations into worksafe pending. The deputy attorney general has sworn in an affidavit for Minister Bains for some of the Worksafe issues
Worksafe by taking advantage of the missing policy 96.20 have taken advantage of injured workers in British Columbia has met the standard for Human Rights Abuse
They have met with the current Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth who as agreed that it is a major crisis that affects the public, Minister Farnworth has
taken no action Jaz and his group have seen. More than enough evidence has been presented to the Attorney General David Eby, the RCMP and other officials to
compel a public inquiry. Minister Bains is noted in Hansard (2007) saying there is evidence of collusion between an employer and WorksafeBC. At that time as
an opposition member Harry Bains was calling for a public inquiry. The then Minister refused to do it.
Since taking office Minister has not taken action on the Petri report which confirms the BC Worker’s Compensation System in BC has been falling the people the
injured workers they are supposed to help for the last 30 years. There has been virtually to no information on the Petri report in the mainstream media. The
Janet Patterson Report has been suppressed by Minister Bains. Where is the Janet Patterson Report, in the opinion of many Worksafe BC is a major contributing
factor to the opiate crisis and homelessness in BC when injured workers are denied treatment.BC Human Rights Organization
