A 32 year old man has been killed in a workplace incident near Fox Creek.
Occupational Health and Safety Spokesperson Lauren Welsh says the incident occurred at a drilling site just before 6 p.m. Wednesday night.
“A floorhand was struck by part of a top drive motor during drilling operations and suffered serious head trauma. He was flown by STARS to hospital and subsequently passed away.”
A stop work order is in place as RCMP and OHS investigates, and will be until they’re satisfied all safety regulations are being followed.
