  • Worker Crushed by a Crate of Glass at a Residential Construction Site Case Report: 06NY001
    STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FATALITY ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL EVALUATION Worker Crushed by a Crate of Glass at a Residential Construction Site Case Report: 06NY001 SUMMARY On January 9, 2006, a 60 year-old male ironworker employed by an ornamental metal working company sustained fatal injuries when a crate of glass panes fell on him at a residential construction site. On the day of the incident, the company was contracted to install curtain walls (large double- paned thermal insulated glass) at the residence. Prior to installation, the workers staged the crates containing multiple plates of glass in such a way that when the crates were opened, the plates of glass would not fall out and the top glass sheet could be easily retrieved. The workers stood the crates on their sides, tilted them to a slight angle and supported the crates with either wooden bars (legs) or another crate of similar size and weight. When crates are staged in pairs, they form an upright triangle or “A” frame with the tops of the two crates touching and supporting each other. The incident happened while the workers were staging two crates (A and B) into an “A” frame. Crate A weighed approximately 1,859 pounds (Lbs.) and Crate B weighed approximately 1,943 Lbs. At the time of the incident, the foreman was standing at the north end of the two crates and a co-worker was at the south end. The victim was at the west side of the crates facing Crate B. The foreman directed the workers to push and tilt the crates towards each other.

  • 420A Levels 1, 2 and 3 Ironworker- Structural and Ornamental
    Apprenticeship Curriculum Standard Ironworker- Structural and Ornamental Levels 1, 2 and 3 Trade Code: 420A Development Date: 2014 IRONWORKER-STRUCTURAL AND ORNAMENTAL Please Note: Apprenticeship Training and Curriculum Standards were developed by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). As of April 8th, 2013, the Ontario College of Trades (College) has become responsible for the development and maintenance of these standards. The College is carrying over existing standards without any changes. However, because the Apprenticeship Training and Curriculum Standards documents were developed under either the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act (TQAA) or the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998 (ACA), the definitions contained in these documents may no longer be accurate and may not be reflective of the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (OCTAA) as the new trades legislation in the province. The College will update these definitions in the future. Meanwhile, please refer to the College’s website (www.collegeoftrades.ca) for the most accurate and up-to-date information about the College.
