Emergency crews responded to an incident at an industrial location
A worker was hospitalized in critical condition Monday after suffering a significant fall at a job site in southeast Calgary.
The incident occurred just before noon in the 5700 block of 1st Street S.E., within the Manchester Industrial Park, according to Calgary police. Emergency responders transported the injured worker to hospital, where their condition remains serious.
Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) confirmed it is investigating the workplace accident.
“It is always tragic when a worker is hurt on the job,” OHS stated. “Our government’s goal is to have all workers come home healthy and safe after each workday.”
“As this is an active OHS investigation, no further information can be provided at this time,” the OHS noted.
OHS has the authority to issue compliance orders, stop-work orders, and penalties if any workplace safety violations are found.
More information may become available as the investigation progresses.
