15 Dec 2023 iSpan Systems LP; East Elgin Concrete Forming Ltd.Building collapse in London (Ontario): steel fabricator and concrete firm pay CA$400,000 Canada, ONWorkplace safety and accidents €272,982

In December 2020, part of a new building collapsed while concrete was being poured on the roof level; two workers died and four were seriously injured. The manufacturer of the structural steel system had not ensured its load-bearing capacity, and the concrete firm had not adequately instructed its workers on correct measuring procedures. Fines of CA$260,000 (iSpan) and CA$140,000 (East Elgin).

What organisations can take from it

In subcontracting chains, the structural system manufacturer and the supervising contractor each remain responsible in their own right – passing on the work does not relieve them.

Relevance to training and awareness

Instruction on concrete pouring specifications and load limits

Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
