Bracelets TORONTO - Inconsistent labour and safety standards are endangering those toiling behind the scenes as performers put on increasingly ambitious shows, an industry expert said a day after a deadly stage collapse in Toronto. Part of the massive outdoor structure came crashing down Saturday afternoon during setup for a Radiohead concert, killing a British drum technician and injuring three other workers. As Ontario labour officials combed through the wreckage Sunday, one expert said pressure to produce flashy performances on short deadlines may play a role in what appears to be a " recurring problem" of dangerous stage collapses in recent years. Adding to the problem is a lack of clear government or industry guidelines when it comes to safety precautions and procedures, she said. " In some cases, it is not clear who's going to say, ' That's not OK,' or ' That doesn't meet the standard'," said Janet Sellery, a safety consultant specializing in the arts who is based in Stratford, Ont. " I think there's a lot of performances and events that may go on with a lot of fingers crossed," she added. Inspectors with Ontario's Ministry of Labour were examining the Downsview Park venue Sunday, trying to determine what caused the stage to suddenly crumple just before the gates opened. The falling debris crushed Scott Johnson, a drum technician in his 30s, whom the band called " a highly skilled and valued member" of its road crew. In a statement posted on their website Sunday, Radiohead said they were " shattered" by Johnson's death. " He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny," the message read. " We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott's family and all those close to him." The sold- out show was cancelled before it even began, forcing ticketholders - many of them from out of town - to turn back. A ministry spokesman said the investigation into the incident is " fairly complex" and it could take some time to figure out exactly what happened. Investigators are looking to see whether safety regulations and standards were followed and staff were properly trained, Matt Blajer said. But Sellery, who sits on a committee advising the province on safety standards for the entertainment industry, said the regulations don't necessarily address the challenges involved in putting on a show. " Because of the unique situations that the live performance and event industry involves, it's not clear to a lot of people how to implement them ( regulations)," she said. - The Canadian Press Stage crash in Toronto highlights safety issues By Paola Loriggio C AIRO, Egypt - The Muslim Brotherhood declared early today its candidate, Mohammed Morsi, won Egypt's presidential election, even as the military handed themselves the lion's share of power over the new president, enshrining their hold on the state and sharpening the possibility of confrontation with the Islamists. With parliament dissolved and martial law effectively in force, the generals made themselves the country's lawmakers, gave themselves control over the budget and will determine who writes the permanent constitution that will define the country's future. But as they claimed victory over Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq, in the election, the Brotherhood challenged the military's power grab. The group warned it did not recognize the dissolution of parliament or the military's interim constitution - or its right to oversee the drafting of a new one. That pointed to a potential struggle over spheres of authority between Egypt's two strongest forces. The Brotherhood has campaigned on a platform of bringing Egypt closer to a form of Islamic rule, but the military's grip puts it in a position to block that. Instead any conflict would likely centre on more basic questions of power. At a pre- dawn press conference today declaring their win, officials from the fundamentalist group that was banned for decades and repeatedly subjected to crackdowns under Mubarak's rule were ebullient and smiling, as supporters chanted, " Down with military rule." " Thank God who guided the people of Egypt to this right path, the path of freedom and democracy," Morsi told the crowd at his campaign headquarters in his first appearance since the victory claim. He promised " to Egypt in all its factions, Muslims and Christians" to " be a president for all Egyptians... a servant to them" and seek a " civil, democratic, constitutional and modern state." Final official results are not expected until Thursday. The Brotherhood's declaration was based on results announced by election officials at individual counting centres, where each campaign has representatives who compile the numbers and make them public before the formal announcement. The Brotherhood's early, partial counts proved generally accurate in last month's first round vote. The group said Morsi took 51.8 per cent of the vote to Shafiq's 48.1 per cent out of 24.6 million votes cast, with 98 per cent of the more than 13,000 poll centres counted. Morsi " is the first civilian, popularly elected Egyptian president," the group proclaimed on its website. There was no immediate comment from the Shafiq campaign. The question now will be how a Brotherhood president will get along with the military generals who have ruled since Mubarak fell on Feb. 11, 2011 and who will still hold powers that can potentially paralyze Morsi. - The Associated Press Muslim Brotherhood declares victory in Egyptian election By Lee Keath and Sarah El Deeb A_ 09_ Jun- 18- 12_ FP_ 01. indd A9 6/ 17/ 12 9: 48: 34 PM ;
