The Ministry of Labour is investigating a workplace incident that claimed the lives of two people in Georgian Bluffs, south of Owen Sound.

Police say officers, Intertownship Fire Department members, and paramedics responded to the call around noon on Thursday at a workplace on Grey Road 5.

The ministry says the workers were inside a silo when a scaffold collapsed. The identities of the two employees were not provided.

CTV News has learned the incident happened at Mennonite Corners near Grey Road 18.

The ministry says one requirement was issued to the project owner and constructor, while eight requirements were issued to the employer. Details of those requirements were not released.

"As the investigation is ongoing, we are unable to provide further details at this time," the ministry concluded in an email to CTV News.
