The situation is being investigated by the responsible authorities, assured Anne Marcotte, spokeswoman for Aéroports de Montréal. The incident had no impact on airport operations, she said.
Urgences-santé intervened at the scene after a call at 1:15 p.m., spokesman Jean-Marie Dufresne confirmed.
The man worked in the luggage transport sector, said Antoine Leclerc-Loiselle, spokesman for the Commission on Standards, Equity, Health and Safety at Work (CNESST).
“Two CNESST inspectors were dispatched […] To secure the scene of the accident, collect information to better understand the circumstances of the accident and meet people who could have been witnesses. »

CNESST could start an investigation. First you need to determine [si l’employé travaillait pour] an entity under provincial or federal jurisdiction, considering it happened on an airport property. We should have more details on Monday, says Mr Leclerc-Loiselle.
If the man worked for a federal company, the investigation would instead be transferred to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
