Accidents hurt - Safety doesn't

"It goes without saying that any accident is one accident too many."

The death of a young worker at a building material supply store near Edmonton recently has raised questions about the safety norms implemented in our vicinity.

Mitchell Tanner, 16, was killed on June 7 at the Rona Building Centre in St. Albert. According to media reports, Tanner was a passenger on a forklift, which was being operated by a 17-year-old, when it tipped over and crushed him. The incident is still under investigation by police and provincial officials.

Neither of these young men employed were trained and did not undergo prior training non the forklift. A tragedy that could have been easily avoided with proper Forklift Safety procedure
