A worker has died after a workplace incident on board of a Clearwater vessel in Mulgrave on Thursday.
This is the second workplace death within a week in Nova Scotia, as a worker died at Irving’s Halifax Shipyard on Monday.
In a statement from the Department of Labour, Skills, and Immigration, the department says the incident is being investigated by the occupational health and safety officers with the department.
The department says they could not confirm further details while the investigation is ongoing, but a Stop Work Order is currently in place.
“As another family is mourning the loss of a loved one in one week, we want to remind everyone of the importance of workplace safety because all Nova Scotians should come home safe from work,” said the department in the statement.
