Part A One man dies, another injured in Ontario workplace incident One man died while another was seriously injured following a workplace incident in Brantford, Ont. on Tuesday, according to reports. The incident happened at Patriot Forge, a metal processing and die-forging company, reported CTV News. Officers were called the business at 280 Henry Street at 10:04 a.m. Tuesday, according to the report. “Officers are currently on scene in the area of Henry Street near Wayne Gretzky Parkway for reports of a workplace accident. One male was pronounced deceased and one male has been transported to hospital with serious injuries. The Ministry of Labour is responding,” tweeted Brantford Police on Tuesday morning. Police did not provide further details. Meanwhile, a receptionist at Patriot Forge said that “an open investigation was underway and no one was available to speak” to the media, reported The Brantford Expositor. Workers who were outside the building at noon declined to comment on the accident, according to the report.

Also, two people were hospitalized following an incident involving a crane at a construction site north of Toronto. And a construction worker was hospitalized after falling into a hole at an Edmonton construction site in Alberta. Under Part II of the Canada Labour Code, employers are required to protect the health and safety of employees at work, by ensuring that employee complaints, including refusals to work, and accidents and injuries are properly investigated, according to the federal government.
