Description
Presents the findings of an investigation into a workplace fatality in the construction and construction trades sector that occurred in June, 2007. A 33-year old male worker, employed as a labourer, was fatally injured when a gravel truck got stuck at a residential construction site. A second truck was brought in and pulled the truck out by attaching a towing strap to the front ends of both trucks. The strap was removed from the second truck and it left the scene. The worker was apparently removing the strap from the first truck when the truck driver moved forward without knowing the worker was in front. The driver could not see the worker and drove over him. See the usage considerations section of this record for more information about OHS work site investigations.

Usage Considerations
Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) investigates serious incidents, including fatalities, which occur at work sites that fall under provincial OHS legislation. After a serious incident or fatality takes place at a work site, OHS officers investigate the work site to determine the causes and circumstances of the incident or fatality. OHS prepares an investigation report summarizing the incident and then conducts an enforcement action review of the investigation, to determine if the incident file should be submitted to Alberta Justice for consideration for prosecution. OHS publishes the fatality investigation report online only after investigations and all court proceedings, if any, are completed.
