Investigations are ongoing into an incident last month in which a worker on the Eglinton LRT project died.
The Ministry of Labour said it has issued 15 requirements in relation to the incident.
Crosslinx, the construction consortium building on the LRT, told Global News in a statement that it happened on May 25.
Crosslinx said a worker at the Cedarvale Station site (formerly Eglinton West station), located at Eglinton Avenue West and Allan Road, died after being hit by a cement truck.
The worker was an employee of a subcontractor working on the project, the statement said.
