A video has emerged showing a worker hanging in the air above a construction site in Toronto after he accidentally became entangled in a sign attached to a crane.
PCL Constructors Canada, the company managing the construction project at Front and Simcoe streets, told CTV News Toronto that the incident happened on Wednesday.
A 38-second video uploaded to Instagram shows the worker holding on to a rope as he dangles several stories.
“Wait, just let your helmet fall off bro,” a man can be heard yelling at the worker in the video.
The video did not show that the worker landed safely on the ground, but the company confirmed that the man was lowered and was not seriously injured.
The company said it was working with “all appropriate authorities” and the incident was under investigation.
A video of the incident was posted to Instagram on Tuesday by My S1, a company that advocates for workplace safety.
The president of My S1, Philip Ferreira, told CTV News Toronto that he was sent the video by an employee, who wished to remain anonymous, who was on the job site when the incident occurred.
