The Ministry of Labour is now investigating a fatal scaffolding accident in the city, the second in less than two months.

Just after noon on Thursday, Toronto police were called to a six-storey building on Parkwood Village Drive, in the Victoria Park Avenue and York Mills Road area.

A construction worker, 43, who is a father of two from Mississauga, fell some distance from a scaffold and was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was wearing a safety harness but it is not clear if it was attached to anything.

On December 24, 2009, four migrant workers fell to their death from a scaffold at another building in Toronto. The Ministry of Labour continues to investigate that accidents and began a blitz of scaffold inspections last month.

The Dec 24th accident was a swing stage acident not a scaffolding related accident. Stage split in the middle. Nobody on safety lines.
