Three work orders have been issued to a west Windsor auto parts manufacturer following Friday's fatal accident, but the investigation continues into how a worker was killed on the job.
It will be a very simple funeral for 55-year-old Phuong Thang, who was killed while on the job at Canadian Electrocoating Ltd.
Survived by her husband and a young daughter, she will be buried Tuesday after a short funeral ritual at Families First Funeral Home in Windsor.
The Ministry of Labour says a bin full of auto parts fell on Thang at her workplace, adding a forklift hit a stack of bins inside the paint line area, which fell on top of Thang. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The ministry says the investigation into the incident could take weeks or even months, but three work orders have already been issued to the company.
The first two are specific to the paint line area of the shop.
First, the ministry ordered: all material, articles or things shall be moved with all safeguards and precautions so as not to endanger the safety of any worker.
Second, a work stoppage was ordered until until the company complied with the first order.
Officials say the first two have now been completed, but a third order is still in process - having the forklift involved in the incident inspected.
Calls to Canadian Electrocoating and parent company Narmco Group on Monday were not returned. Nor were calls to Teamsters Local 880.
