TOWNSHIP OF CENTRAL FRONTENAC, Ont. — Hydro One Networks Inc. was fined $325,000 on Jan. 13, in connection with the death of a worker on March 5, 2013. That day, a crew of five workers at the power company’s distribution station in the Township of Central Frontenac was engaged in replacing a voltage regulator, Ontario’s Ministry of Labour (MOL) said in a press release. The crew used a method called “jack and roll,” which involved moving the regulator on wooden rollers. As the 15-ton replacement regulator was being moved across wooden planking between two concrete pads, it stopped because the rollers were not fitting properly beneath the regulator, the MOL explained. One worker mounted a jack, but as the regulator was being raised, the jack slipped out of its position, tipping over and fatally crushing the worker. An MOL investigation found that no written procedure existed for the “jack and roll” process and during other such procedures, workers had used equipment that stabilized movement; this equipment was not used in this case. Hydro One was fined after pleading guilty to failing as an employer to ensure that materials or equipment at a project was stored and moved in a manner that did not endanger a worker, as required by the Construction Projects Regulation.
