Tragic. Too often people feel pressure or get pressured to cut corners to get jobs done faster. Safety should always be first, no one should be dying on the job.
Lots of industrial deaths this year, unfortunately this may be the way things are headed due to cost cutting, overworking employees, and ineffective safety culture that prioritizes shifting liability to the workers instead of improving standards and practices. Look out for each other out there folks, the client only looks at the dollar figures.
I’ve worked at Cenovus Christina lake and like all oil sites in Northern Alberta safety is top notch. I’m guessing whichever company these people worked for has a written safe work procedure for unloading pipe and some or all of that was not followed. Definitely sad to see.
2 deaths in January alone. Man, what’s happening? When I worked there a decade ago, safety was absolutely the priority.
