A six story apartment building was being built in Midtown, Ontario. A construction worker on a worksite was critically injured when a brick fell and hit him on the head. The worker was on the ground at the time of the accident, and the brick fell from the fourth story of the building.

This accident may have occurred for a number of reasons. The only fact that is clearly known is that the worker was not wearing a hard hat. There may be many (and multiple) causes for this accident.

Question:

1. Consider at least 8 different potential causes for this accident, and identify who might be deemed responsible for each cause.
2. What is the significance of your findings?

(Example: We know that the worker was not wearing their hard hat. Who might be responsible for this? It may be more than one party.)
