Half-tonne load of steel at facility falls 20 metres from crane
Nearly half a tonne of steel plummeted 20 metres to the ground from atop a Bruce Power plant crane last month, narrowly missing workers below and raising safety concerns at the nuclear facility, the Star has learned.
"The fact that this was a near-miss in human terms was mere luck," says a plant safety briefing into the May 12 incident obtained by the Star.
The impact shook the floor of the giant plant, says one worker.
