High Potentials Review:
1) Nov 2015 Incident from Port Colborne (IM#1466992): Employee was in the process or trying to unplug the underflow of
30-8.1 tank. He had locked out the agitator and had put a tube from the tank top down into the underflow of the tank. He
the put a small tygon water flush hose into that tube to try to flush the under flow. He stated that he had initiated a small
flow of water when the low pH material came back up the tube and splashed against the brim of his hard hat and then
dripped down into both eyes. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS: incident reviewed with all crews, contact issued to cease using this
practice and device was removed from workplace, investigation conducted to develop suitable took and procedure with

Provincial Coordinators Comments January 2016 PLMHSC Meeting
Provincial coordinator’s comment: As we start off the New Year, I am always optimistic that this will be the one year, or at least the beginning of a trend where no workers will die in construction. Unfortunately past experience reminds me that this goal is challenging. This does however, not mean that we should give up or view construction related deaths and injuries as inevitable. I believe there is no valid reason In Ontario (which is a world leader in safety) to continue to expect an average of 15 fatalities each year. To help me understand why this is happening in the field I survey MOL inspectors and ask them for feedback on what they see are the key issues and trends and where MOL should focus enforcement efforts. I will not provide the entire inspector feedback; however let me share a few key points 63.3% of inspectors said the number one issue in worker safety is lack of fall protection including the lack of training both in “Working at Heights “, and under section 26.2(1) of the construction regulation. Inspectors advised that there is a shortage of equipment operators that have formal training, especially on low rise residential projects. Inspectors told me that there are employers that do not respect the safe approach limits for working around energized electrical conductors and that “near misses” with electrical contacts are downplayed by many employers. Inspectors also advised me that there is a significant issue with “individuals” who work for cash, or piecework production which results in a workplace culture where the speed of getting things done is more important (at least of those individuals) than the safety of workers doing the work.
MOL Report to PLMHSC – Construction Sector – January 2016 Meeting
Page 2 of 21
MOL inspectors told me that there are many issues with respect to unsafe trenching being constructed without slopes or using any kind of trench box or support system. Any worker entering an unsafe trench of this kind is risking immediate death. Inspectors advised me on existing roadways that some employers are not preparing an adequate traffic protection plan, and when challenged by inspectors refer to Book 7. While book 7 provides guidance with respect to traffic control measures, the actual layout templates are not accepted by MOL as a traffic protection plan. The risk of working in some construction sectors changes from time to time. Recent indications are that workers in Heavy Civil construction projects are more at risk than other sectors. This may be largely due to the dramatic increase in struck by injuries involving equipment over the last 5 to 10 years. With respect to orders issued, the most commonly issued order remains personal protective equipment specifically a lack of protective headwear. The mandatory provision for protective headwear has been in place now for almost 30 years, this may indicate a troubling lack of supervisory control on projects. Finally equipment maintenance should be much better, if I am driving my car and the brakes are erratic, or even if they are just squealing it becomes an immediate priority for me to get them fixed before I continue driving. It’s been our observation on construction projects, that for some employers that brakes are something that they “work around” and the lack of maintenance can kill and seriously injure workers. It is always with some frustration that I review the annual inspector survey results, especially with respect to falls, as falls from height continues to be the number one reason that workers are killed and critically injured. This has to change, and let’s work together this year to make sure that it does change. The past 25 years have shown remarkable improvements in Occupational Health & Safety on construction projects let us be unified in our approach to making it even better this year.

Case 1 Def #1 PANORAMIC PROPERTIES INC. (1) Panoramic Properties Inc., 9582 Beaverdams road, Niagara Falls, Ontario, L2E 6S4, on or about September 3rd, 2014, at the City of Sudbury, in the North East region of the Province of Ontario, did commit the offence of failing, as a constructor, to ensure the measures and procedures prescribed by section 26.3(1) of Ontario Regulation 213/91, as amended, were carried out at a project located at Nesbitt Drive, Sudbury, Ontario, contrary to section 23(1)(a) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, RSO 1990, c.O.1., as amended. Facts in Support of Guilty Plea / Conviction or Reasons for Acquittal
1. The Defendant was contracted to add three apartment buildings (Buildings D, E, and F) to an existing building located at Nesbitt Drive, Sudbury, Ontario. The Defendant is listed as a “constructor” as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the work being performed was a “project” within the meaning of the Act.
2. The Notice of Project filed with the Ministry of Labour indicated that the Defendant
employed approximately 1-5 workers.
3. On September 3, 2014, a worker employed by the Defendant with security duties, was conducting security checks in the three apartment buildings. While the worker was told not to go into Building D as a result of the construction progress of the noted building, the worker entered this building to conduct a security check. The worker fell through the entry opening into the building that was not guarded by any guardrails. The worker was unable to recall whether the fall took place in an open elevator shaft or open stairwell. The fall resulted in serious injuries including nine fractured ribs, a broken wrist, a punctured lung, and cuts and bruises.
4. On September 22, 2014, a Ministry of Labour Inspector conducted an investigation after
having received a report of the incident. The Inspector determined that both the elevator shaft and stairwell were not guarded by guardrails and exposed workers to a fall hazard of more than 2.4 metres.
5. Therefore, the Defendant failed to ensure that the measures and procedures prescribed
by section 26.3(1) of Ontario Regulation 213/91, were carried out at a workplace, contrary to section 23(1)(a) of the Act.

1. 2414920 Ontario Limited, 8 Acme Crescent, Etobicoke, Ontario, M9R 3B8, on or about the 27th day of October 2014, at the City of Niagara Falls, in the Central South Region, in the Province of Ontario, did commit the offence of failing, as a constructor, to ensure that the measures and procedures prescribed by section 26.3(2) of Ontario Regulation 213/91, as amended, were carried out at the project located on Montrose Road, Niagara Falls, Ontario, contrary to section 23(1)(a) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1., as amended.
Facts in Support of Guilty Plea / Conviction or Reasons for Acquittal: .
1. On or about October 27, 2014, a Ministry of Labour inspector was driving south on Montrose Road when he observed a worker laying blocks exposed to a fall hazard at the construction site of a new, semi-detached residential building located on Montrose Road, Niagara Falls, Ontario.
2. On or about October 27, 2014 the first floor of the building was framed and the
fire separation block wall between the two units was being built.
3. Three workers employed by the Corporation were working at the site.
4. One worker was laying blocks approximately 5 feet above the second floor deck. The other two workers were on the second floor deck.
5. There were no guardrails installed on the second floor where the workers had access to the perimeter or an open side of the work surface. The lack of guardrails exposed the workers to fall hazards ranging from 9 feet 10 inches to 14 feet 10 inches.
6. There was a stairwell opening in the floor of both units. There was no guardrail or protective covering of this open work surface, which exposed the workers to another fall hazard.
7. Not all of the workers were wearing protective headwear.
8. Two of the workers were not trained in fall protection.
