PETERBOROUGH-A Mississauga Company has been fined $60,000 after a worker fell from a ten story building in November 2016.
Pro Renovations Solutions was contracted to make repairs to an apartment on Clonsilla Avenue in Peterborough. A report from the Ministry of Labour says the worker lost his balance at the roof edge and fell to the ground, sustaining critical injuries. The report says several Pro Renovations Solutions employees were setting up a swing stage on the roof of the building. Another employee went to the roof to bring a wrench to the workers who were setting up the swing stage.
The worker was not protected by any form of fall protection while on the roof according to the Minsitry of Labour. The company was convicted on Monday.
