Humber River Health has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the consortium responsible for building its Toronto hospital, alleging negligence in the design and construction of flooring. The claim highlights issues with uneven floors, which hinder equipment movement and cause safety concerns for patients and staff. These flooring problems have led to maintenance issues and unavailability of critical areas within the hospital. As a result, Humber River is taking steps to ensure operations remain as effective as possible during the legal proceedings.
"Floor levelness is a critical operational and safety issue... Non-level floors make it difficult for staff to move equipment, supplies, food, and patients on wheeled transportation devices."
"The floor conditions have led, and will continue to lead, to health and safety issues for patients and staff."
"Critical rooms and areas of the hospital have been unavailable because of maintenance, due to durability problems with the floors."
"Humber River Health is implementing all necessary measures to ensure the best experience for our patients, staff and community while it works to resolve these problems."
