The Ontario Ministry of Labour has laid charges against the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Services Board in relation to the explosion at an emergency responders training exercise that sent three paramedics and two police officers to hospital last year.
The injured were among Ottawa police, RCMP officers and paramedics taking part in a forced-entry exercise at an abandoned house on March Road in Kanata on June 18, 2014. The officers were using explosives to enter the empty home as part of the exercise when the group of first-responders were injured.
The Ministry of Labour has now charged the city and the police board under the Occupational Health and Safety Act for allegedly not taking “every precaution reasonable” to protect its workers in the exercise and for putting them in a hazardous workplace scenario.
Two paramedics, Supt. Craig MacInnes and Reid Purdy, suffered the worst injuries after a ball of fire sent hot gas into the faces. They were initially brought to the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus intensive care unit in critical condition.
A third paramedic, five-year veteran Bradley Ross, a primary care paramedic with the tactical unit, was injured after he jumped in to help his colleagues after the blast.
Two Ottawa police tactical officers, Const. Chris Lennon and Sgt. Marc Clement, were treated for smoke inhalation and minor injuries.
The parties are set to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Ottawa on July 30.
