A few weeks before Olivier Bruneau was killed by a block of ice while working on a Claridge construction site, a slab of ice fell right next to another worker on the same site, a Radio-Canada investigation learned. On Feb. 4, 2016, a piece of ice fell on a worker who escaped without serious injury. Radio-Canada has now learned that another worker was nearly hit by a large slab of ice at the end of February 2016. Barrier removedA day after the Feb. 4, 2016 incident, when a piece of ice hit a worker, the Ontario Ministry Labour visited the site. They are charged with failing to ensure that the excavation wall is clear of any material that may fall on a worker and for not taking all reasonable precautions to ensure worker safety.
