Concord, Ont.-based Orin Contracting Services Inc. has been fined $125,000 after a worker was fatally injured when a 13-ton counterweight from an excavator fell on them.

DCN-JOC News ServicesTORONTO —

In early 2020, Roni Excavation Ltd. and one of its subsidiaries, Orin Contracting Services Inc., were contracted to conduct excavation and backfilling at a construction site for five residential condominium towers on Yonge Street. The employer was provided with a Manufacturer’s Operation and Maintenance Manual outlining the procedure for safe removal of the counterweight to prevent injury or death which involves engaging the hydraulic system of the excavator. However, the work crew did not use the manual’s procedure and instead backed a truck up to the counterweight to use as a work platform and began removing the mounting bolts.
