Bravo Cement Contracting fined after worker killed

WINDSOR, Ont.

Bravo Cement Contracting Inc., a Windsor-based cement pouring and installation company, has been fined $90,000 for a violation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was killed.

On Jan. 21, 2009, a worker was painting a steel storage rack at one of the company’s sites. The rack, which weighed about 635 kilograms, tipped over and fell, trapping and killing the worker. The incident occurred at a company site on 2875 Kew Dr. in Windsor. The fine was on July 21, 2010.

A Ministry of Labour investigation found that the rack was not secured to prevent it from tipping or falling. Bravo Cement pleaded guilty to failing to secure an industrial storage rack so that it would not tip or fall.
