I am sorry to hear of this tragedy happening to someone just trying to work hard and build a good life in her adopted country.Prayers for her devastated husband and children.
And for the many men who were killed and didn't get the gofundme or news coverage. Prayers for them.
Adopted??
Welcome to manhood, girls.
That site has so many accidents, come on Workplace BC, do your job.
I think its everywhere in Canada 😢, Im in Ontario...just dont hear much about it but these accidents, but they happen everyday. You barely see a safety worker at job sites...Thats not all, try to check into hospital patient's injuries caused by inept hospital workers! There's no end to this😢
@@Thebohemiangirl1You are so right about hospital caused injuries.
Last spring I almost died after coding twice because nurses and doctors wouldn’t listen to me about being allergic to cat scan dye, and to hydromorphone.
I was then hospitalized for a week, badgered every day to have another CAT scan, lied to several times, and developed afibulation due to the stress.
If I had been very elderly and confused, or did not speak English like many of the patients around me, I would’ve died for sure.
We are declining.
@@clairecarscallenthe reason I am moving to Europe. I am tired of being medically gaslighted and they do not want to waste $ from provincial health care if you are older and female.
@@deanne9266I so wish I had the resources and energy to move to Europe, though I’m sure they have their problems too.
You are very right about receiving terrible medical care if you’re older and female; you are devalued.
When I tore a meniscus in my right knee four years ago, the orthopaedic surgeon in the hospital refused to do an MRI, saying he’d be laughed out of the hospital. When a nurse questioned him, he said I’m not doing an MRI on a woman her age. When things did not get better with just Physio, the physiotherapist wrote him a letter asking for an MRI, and when I gave it to the Dr he was really angry at me, and still refused.
There is no such thing as an accident when it comes to workplace safety. Someone effed up real bad.
Praying for the Family & RIP!🙏
God bless her soul and strength to his family
Terrible tragedy. May they be granted peace. Ameen
What a tragedy May her soul RIP .
Working under a suspended load is against the rules…99% of places that I’ve worked at even Red Tape the area or close off the area. Loads are messed up. It’s not as if they fall straight downward, they bump off each other and go askew. Especially plywood…those can catch air and fly 50 feet outside the danger zone.
May the victim find rest and the family find love and console with each other.
For a crane to lose a form doesn’t make sense. They very much under reported this
W. T. F.
But the problem is sometimes women die. Don't you understand this is national news story.
yea ,yea - red tape ,and a little tag ,and next thing you know 20 ppl working inside perimeter and red tape their areas with red tape - because if they dont they got yelled at... In reality nobody gives one fk until somebody got hurt badly ,then they put even more tape and tags and make you to sign even more papers to make YOU at fault...
We are working by a high voltage (supposedly not connected) power line on a lift - we are not supposed to ,we had a fkn hour and a half of training ,got a sticker that I know how to do it properly from a general of general ,do we go for lock and tag for a couple hours a day how supposed to? Do they pay to do so? Nah nobody gives a sht - just sign papers ,If you got fried - whoopsie ,we warned you "Don't be an idiot! Follow safety. Take 60!"...
You got a right to refuse - and work at mcdonalds ,or stfu and go work in sht unsafe conditions ,dont forget to sign papers that you are at fault...
@@edwardk3 women should be home makers the way God intended them to be
I used to work on that jobsite before I switched companies. There was tools scaffolding falling on the regular. It almost got shut down once before by Work Safe BC.
Someone did something wrong. There are too many do's and don'ts in the training of crane safety for this to have been an accident. You need to be trained and then you need to do exactly what your training says to do. Working here in Alberta most of the oil companies will run you off if you make one simple move that does not comply. The smaller one's can get lax and they do slip up on safety, but the big boys won't tolerate it. Your gone, and the company, or sub contractor you work for, may be gone. So, yup, someone let their guard down.
I worked on several commercial sites, and it was always a no no to work under the travel path of the crane. I'm sure there will be fines levied and fingers pointed, but it won't bring back this lady. Even when I worked in Calgary in the 1970's, it was as you have described. I worked on the Shell building on 3rd Avenue.
Diversity hire?
@@frakismaximus3052 Perhaps, but if she was in an area that was deemed okay, then a crane load malfunction has nothing to do with hiring for diversity.
@@frakismaximus3052 Not every position is diversity hiring. This lady was a honorable worker doing a honest job. Not the time for such a statement.
Complacency can cause some tragic shit, just had a conversation with our company's safety guy the other day about that.
I am so sorry for your loss! 🥲🥲 Praying for you all! ❤️🙏
Condolence, R.I.P🙏💓🇨🇦
my brother died back 2014 from a construction site.. where he was working at
.....which turned into neglicence and manslughter
Rest in peace 😢
So many construction site accidents, you see not one safety worker for days at a time 😢
True. Unless of course you work for folks like Suncor. Things still go wrong, but the big boys won't tolerate it for one second if they see you not complying to safety standards. Read the book on crane safety and in there somewhere you will find the human error that caused this.
Un-trained-for-egners!
@@malcontender6319 Yeah, let's blame immigrants instead of the company that failed to train them properly and/or have proper safety procedures.
@@malcontender6319Bot
@@malcontender6319not because immigration it's a WOMAN! And now we have national news because they really care now. Can't you be more careful now?
Corrupt quality and safety control no not in Canada lol it’s everywhere people are hire for less cause they jus got here
That's why they brought them here, to drive down wages and union participation.
These people come from beholden, feudal societies - they'll never vote anything but liebral as a reward for their masters letting them in.
And will likley be the ones pushing us against walls when the r-epla-ceme-nt starts.
I find that highly unlikely. It was more than likely a union site, which most commercial sites are these days.
Que triste ...que descanse en paz 🕊
Omg!! So so so sorry to this family. So tragic. This is unacceptable!
That should not have happened. Being under suspended loads is not allowed.
She may not have been under it. It sounds like a piece flew off and hit her 😕
It's like you don't really even care. Usually Men die on construction but this is national news WOMAN. Can you we be more careful!
Breaks my heart…. 😢
God rest her soul.
So Sad.l,pray for the family to find peace and strength to carry on.
Huch love and respect man.. don't know if I could handle that
Absolutely heartbreaking. It’s not your fault, Daniel.
That sucks. Working as a general labourer.. You think u would be safe.. Prob making less than 20 an hour. So sad..
The sad thing in the end NOBODY will be held accountable! Just watch, and they will just brush it off as just an accident..!!! RIP.
it was an accident! look up the word ACCIDENT to know the definition, she was not murdered. Just like the woman who worked a dangerous job mining, her mistake cost them their lives in the USA but women the radicals insist they can do these dangerous jobs so expect more accidents until people figure out common sense. What is it with people like you? You make no sense.
@@roannamowbray3802 It's not an accident when she was grossly under-qualified and hired regardless, it was cheaper and she checked more DEI boxes than the qualified operator.
So sorry for your family. We will keep your family in our prayers.
Aww my heart breaks for him and his family
Wow! They wouldn't even him see the body. You know it's bad when they don't even let you see the body.
Poor woman, condolences to her family. 💐
So sorry for your loss. We where at work in Ontario when we heard of this happening.
Condolences to her family
So sad ! My heart breaks for her and the family.
Condolences to this hard working woman and to all those grieving. More safety measures must be taken so that this can be prevented in the future… zoning off rigging areas and making sure it is completely clear of personnel should be mandatory. Been on sites for 18 years and this has always been an issue. The last site I was on was the reason why I quit the industry completely, it’s gotten worse through the years. Wage cuts, skilled labour cuts, strict and unrealistic deadlines, rushing skilled workers to do the job faster, leading to low morale, etc.
I’m so sorry for your loss I feel your pain I don’t want to imagine or know this pain or anybody else go through this keep safe out there people make sure to tell your loved ones you love them everyday
This is hard i can feel that man
So sad😢 RIP
Awful.My condolences to the family.
So sorry for your loss!!!
😢 oh man, how can you get through this. Prayers for the family, and I hope the ones responsible get charged for murder.
The liebral immigration minister? We can only hope.
@@malcontender6319Bot
@malcontender6319 Why hope? Keep voting for the 'right' party. Maybe one decade it'll make a difference.
Yes they probably killed others last year but they don't understand this is a WOMAN and now we have national news cover it so please be more CAREFUL!!!
Will be the family indemnified? I really hope. That will not return her 😢but her children deserves to get some economic support. 😢💔
Very tragic but the oh&s rules in Canada are so strict it’s unbelievable but when you want to throw money at the housing shortage? Cheap and untrained workers to generate large profits could be the easiest explanation but it’s sad the Crain operators definitely to blame!
True but not true, you need a valid crane safety operator course and thorough training to operate. I can guarantee it’s not one of Trudeaus immigrant babies. Human error happens to all.
And now woman has died and national news are being made. Can't you be more CAREFUL!?
RIP people who will live there should have a wall to honor her.
My condolences
This is tragic. Canada 🇨🇦 needs to raise its standards
Worksafe BC standards are definitely there! Does not mean those in charge onsite or workers follow all the rules!
No Canada is already so infested with rules that the common sense is going out the window
Can we have better standards when woman is on work site? This is non to acceptable. It's a WOMAN and we have national news now!
OMG rest in peace!! Horrible way to go!!
R.I. P hun😭❤️🙏
Sorry for all involved in this tragic, mismanagement safety standards. Hope they find a good lawyer.
Sorry for your loss.. 😢so heartbreaking.. prayers for you.. and family.
And I pray for all of the men who died last year but that were not news worthy
Was she in the lift zone or was it rigging failure??
So sorry for your loss. Such a tragedy rip.
Gees that's brutal sorry to hear that
Our thoughts and prayers for your family 🙏
Que lastima 😢. La familia deben poner una demanda a los culpables que dejaron ese forma de madera caer.
I'm so sorry ❤
Mothers should not have to work!!!
Sad! How? They better look into how! This is so sad and heartbreaking!
So sad
So! So! Sad Pray Healing For All!
Praying Hard For Them! Just So Sad!!
Absolutely heartbreaking.. I could never imagine going through what this family is going through 😢 And the sickening part is I know of people that work on Cranes etc bragging about drinking on the job or high on drugs.. Just sickens me..Time to start testing before they start their shift and during.. It's time that those ones are dealt with harshy.
RIP
Will miss you girl . 😭🩵
There should be some serious consequences for this, but there won’t be.
💔
Welcome to your government prioritizing highly overseeing, regulating, and inspecting, thousands single family residential home renovations instead of mega projects. If Liberals/NDP stopped over regulating simple home renovations we would have better capacity and resources to ensure these job sites are safe.
😢
Cómo se llama el esposo ?
She should have known not to stand under a crane...OHS...
Very sad 😢 🙇🏻♂️
Very sad, this is why when on a construction site you need to always be aware of everything that's going on. Don't be standing under a load on a crane. It's just so unnecessary for her to be gone.
Yes but
Things still the size of a large cube is not expected fall off a crane. It’s unpardonable. This happened 100 years ago in North America. Now workplace Safety has stringent regulations
@bodhisattva6308 that's the wrong way to think. You never ever walk under or work under a suspended load. You stand back and let them do there lift then resume you duties.
@@moderndaydrifter4672 I have to take your word as you definitely know better. I will read more about it. Thanks
Working under a suspended load is against the rules…most places that I’ve worked at even Red Tape the area or close off the area. Loads are messed up. It’s not as if they fall straight downward, they bump off each other and go askew. Especially plywood…those can catch air and fly 50 feet outside the danger zone.

Why does he need a go fund me? Doesn't that province cover work accidents? Doesn't the employeur have insurance? As a labourer in construction doesn't she have trademan insurance?🤯
This blows my mind as in my province gives a minimum amount of 130k$ to a maximum of 282k$ for any death or professional illness.
Chinada
don't know, but he is planning the funeral in his home country, so that will be expensive... and people are touched by the loss and want to help
Sue them rip
Shit happens.
Lots of shit when you're an idiot.
No but this is not a man! Where's your Harte !
what a horrible tragedy. her poor son :(
Very tragic. My condolences to Mr Hernandez. However take note Canada; next time you hear the nonsense "statistics" about not enough women in the building trades... THIS IS WHY. Women generally want to work in safety and some degree of comfort, not where an accident can kill them... that's it, that's all. It's not sexism or misogyny or some other PC nonsense.
Last I heard, they're not even provided a separate toilet facility (yeah those portables even), nor running water (though same for the men)........ often are subject to harassment around the shared facility. Not sure why things are so bad when it doesn't take much to make the improvements.
@@sparra3819….On my site they do have separate toilets with passcode locks. And the cso is strict about no harassment
Work BC employees get out of that comfy chairs and do your job.
😢😢😢
Cominicate conmigo por favor
Fucking brutal rip
❤
She looked like she was in a gang 😒
She was literally doing day labour on a construction site.
Moratori colpo
Weird. Usually people in Canada who have Mexican names = Philopinos
What a stupid comment. I know plenty of legal Mexicans that live in Vancouver
Flips.
MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE. MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY
@DonnellOkafor-pd7ynno you aren't understand this is WOMAN and not man now it national news story and we are caring for her. We are good people for caring when it is woman. I feel bad and now you should to!!!
@DonnellOkafor-pd7ynyou just want to make bad comments about immigrants than! This one is woman so you're are misogynist.
If she stayed home, like women should, she would be alive.
Poor rigging practices and STANDING UNDER THE LOAD ! -- Stay outta the bight !
You all should be Union Carpenters and go to school at the Pile Drivers Union
I have been on enough construction sites to see the hacks that work in these places.
Non Union, untrained, un professional, dangerous hacks ... I am glad I got out long ago.
Tragic doesnt describe it .. this poor lady and her family.
Lol - Im union ,dont tell me sht show is only on non union - its fkn same ,just more papers to cover their ass...
@@zCATAHAz - Well, not where I am from - you do some pretty hairy shite on the water in the middle of nowhere - and hammers are up to 32 tons.
You have to hold rigging tickets and there is a real difference between the hacks on highrise construction sites - at least its alot more regulated - high rise construction is a gong show at best.
@@nikosjasonfakaro9187 right ,its a different game - we have all the regulation on paper ,but in reality if we start to really follow it will take 10 years to build a 10 floors.
Those cranes cover all site usually - so every body will need to wait only to get in and out ,you will need 20 spotters and ho we can even work on exterior so everything will be waiting for everything ,crane for swing stages ,swing stages for window guys... so its mostly pretending to make it safe... I bet tomorrow they will add another paper on my site - we had welder fell got extra paper to sign next day - bs safety...
Ps - just imagine how many ppl and equipment you will need to hang a piece of drywall from a ladder having 3 points of contact all the time - not gonna happen ever ,but if you hurt - we talled ya 3 points ,shoulda listen ya dummy...
Where my DEI comments at?
Being slid by the CTV bots.
If you comment too much in one day , utube will remove ur comments bcos of commenting too much
Hiring the wrong people
This is what happens when you have women on a construction site.
Did they come here legally
Yes just reminder Canadian have been screwed over so many times by the construction industry they no longer want to work in so Canadian Companys have hire from out side Canada
Maybe if you stayed back in mexico youd be okay
Such a callous & selfish remark! Shame on you !
These are working class people who are contributing to society, these aren't the ones to be mad at.
@@NightimeInDeepSpace They should go back to their home countries and "contribute to society" there. What right does the west have to poach their best and brightest?
Don't their *own* countries need those best and brightest?
Lame comment
RIP
RIP
