Remembering Dean Maguire: A Story of Workplace Tragedy

Remembering Dean Maguire: A Story of Workplace Tragedy

Disclaimer: This episode discusses a sensitive topic that may be challenging for some listeners.

On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, we remember and honour Dean Maguire, a devoted father, brother, and husband who tragically lost his life during a construction project in Toronto on March 27th, 2018. The Maguire family—Heather, Connor, Mae, and Tim—joins this episode to share their personal experiences of the grief of losing Dean, describing him as a kind, gentle, and loving man. Dean’s passing has had a profound impact on the family, and is a poignant reminder of the importance of prioritizing workplace safety.

Threads of Life, a Canadian charity that supports families affected by work-related injuries and fatalities, has been a lifeline for the Maguire family, providing information, support, and understanding during their difficult time of loss and grief. They have attended the Threads of Life convention and been involved in fundraising walks to help spread awareness about workplace safety.


The Maguire family also discusses the importance of having conversations about complacency in the workplace and breaking down cultural barriers, especially around the trades industry. Safety needs to be prioritized because it saves lives. Workplace safety is everybody's responsibility.

Dean contributed to building the Rogers Centre, Toronto’s skyline, and many other structures across Ontario. Dean’s legacy lives on and continues to inspire and impact the lives of many.
