He was killed in an explosion when the trenching machine he was operating punctured a gas pipeline at the Guy Maples farm west of Sim- coe Street and just north of the Win- chester Road. During testimony last week, the five person jury and presiding cor- oner, Dr. Charles Mcllveen heard testimony suggesting that warning stakes had been placed in the wrong position before the trenching began for installation of tile drain. Paul Burkeholder, an inspector for Trans Canada Pipelines said he had difficulty locating the southern portion of the pipeline, and under. questioning he said that several years ago, he encountered similar problems and thought the reason could be interference from overhead hydro transmission lines hampering the detection equipment. The inspector also told the inquest he had worked with Wright on previous occasions and considered him a capable and responsible contractor. : An inquiry into the explosion was also held recently by the National Energy Board and a report on its findings is expected in the next cou- ple of weeks. The recommendations handed down by the inquest jury last week were as follows: -- No work should start on sites un- til all underground utilities are iden- tified with colored stakes; -- Training courses be established for operators of excavating machines who work around buried pipelines; -- Prominent warning markers be erected and maintained at all fence lines and roads crossed by pipelines; -- Inspectors take upgrading safe- ty courses; -- A "one-call" system to involved agencies be set up for contractors who plan to excavate near underground pipelines; -- Better communications be established between contractors and utility companies; -- Markers and warning stakes have a standard minimum height and have a distinctive coding.
