This column is the first of two parts which delves into the 2009 Christmas Eve swing stage tragedy where four workers fell 13 storeys to their deaths and another was seriously injured when their swing stage broke open at an apartment restoration work site. Currently, Vadim Kazenelson, the project manager at the work site, is awaiting his possible jail sentence after being found guilty of five criminal negligence charges in relation to the incident.
Today's column will cover the incident and its investigation and the criminal and regulatory charges levied. Tomorrow's part will cover the implications for employers.
