Workers killed on building site
CALGARY
Energy company Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.confirmed two workers killed at its Horizon oilsands construction site in northern Alberta were Chinese citizens.
Real Doucet, the company’s senior vice-president of oilsands, says four other workers hurt in the accident were also foreign workers from China.
The accident occurred when the roof collapsed on a massive oil container being built as part of Canadian Natural’s $10.8-billion oilsands project north of Fort McMurray, Alta.
Canadian Natural says everyone on site has to be fully certified and adhere to strict safety rules.
Organized labour groups have railed against Canadian Natural for bringing in temporary foreign workers to help alleviate the costly labour shortage in northern Alberta.
