Gilbert Eduard Lima, 25, Zorra Township, Ontario
Gilbert Lima was killed in a London area quarry on July 25, 1999.
The day he was killed, Gilbert was finishing the fourth day of his work cycle, four 15-hour consecutive shifts followed by four days off. Although not a part of his job, he was helping co-workers adjust the conveyor mechanism attached to a stone crusher. Without manufacturer’s instructions, they struggled to align the conveyor that was perilously perched on a tripod jack without backup support. As Gilbert went underneath the conveyor it slipped and struck him on the head killing him immediately.
