The Ministry of Labour confirms to 570 News that the company in charge of the site
of a fatal workplace accident where a Kitchener man was killed on Monday in Mississauga has been issued two orders.
PCL Construction has been ordered to not disturb the scene where the accident took place. The order is in place until January 17th. They must also hand over documents related to the work they are doing at the Sheridan Centre.
Christopher Crawford, 33, died at the site where a Target Canada store was under construction. He leaves behind his wife, Tabatha, according to Erb & Good Family Funeral Home in Waterloo.
A Ministry spokesperson tells 570 News that Crawford worked for Vixman Construction, based in Rockwood.
Daryl Brisco, president of Vixman Construction Ltd. said in a release,
“It is with profound sadness that we are dealing with the loss of our co-worker Chris Crawford as a result of the tragic accident that occurred at the Sheridan Mall jobsite. Words are simply not enough but our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, children, family members, friends, as well as our Vixman family and others that have been touched by this tragedy.
At this time it is impossible to determine the cause of this accident and it is completely inappropriate to provide speculation. The Ministry of Labour has launched their investigation and we will be cooperating fully in any way possible.
We respectfully ask for privacy for the family in this time of grief.”
Two inspectors and an engineer with the Ministry of Labour were dispatched to the scene on Monday.
