Bucket of concrete injures workers By LESLIE FERENC
Four men laying bricks on the outside of an uptown condominium likely didn't see a 5-tonne bucket of concrete as it came hurtling down on the scaffold where they were working, sending them plunging to the ground 15 metres below, a worker says.
The accident happened at about 11:10 a.m. yesterday at the Minto Gardens condominium under construction at 45 Sheppard Ave. E., near Yonge St.
The men, believed to be members of the Universal Workers Union, Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 183, were working on a tarpaulin-covered scaffold when the massive bucket fell as it was being hoisted by a crane to the 21st floor. It snapped their platform in half like a Popsicle stick, police said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:14 AM :: reference link ::
