Occupational Health And Safety: Overhead Power Line

Safety Laws Dept: Occupational Health and Safety sent investigators to the scene, but they left shortly afterwards without conducting a full investigation. The deaths happened on a farm, and farms aren't covered under Alberta's workplace safety laws, according to Calgary Herald. Minister of Employment and Immigration Thomas Lukaszuk said agriculture is an unusual industry where home life and workplace meet and two men are dead after farm machinery they were transporting came in contact with an overhead power line Thursday evening. Alberta is the only province where farm workers are not covered in some capacity by workplace legislation. As reported in the news.
