The employee, a man in his 50’s, was working under a vehicle when it shifted and fell on his chest, OHS said.
A stop-work order was issued for any tasks/actions that involve elevating a vehicle to ensure worker safety and to let officials complete their investigation, OHS said Tuesday.
The stop-work order will be in place until investigators determine it’s safe for employees to get back to work, OHS said.
