Site C worker dies after collapsing

A worker died Sept. 5 while working on the Site C project near Fort St. John, though officials believe the cause to not be related to work activities.

"I can confirm that an ATCO employee collapsed while working on the assembly of a trailer unit at the temporary site for accommodation for ATCO contract workers working on the Site C Project," confirmed David Conway, community relations manager for the Site C project.

While administering first aid, RCMP and paramedics responded quickly, the worker was pronounced unresponsive and died of what appears to be natural causes. Work on site was stopped immediately.

"Our condolences go out to his family, friends and to those who worked with him," said Conway.
