OHS investigators remain on scene and have spoken with the owner of the company, Alberta Labour spokesman Trent Bancarz said Friday afternoon.

“Deaths at workplaces, they’re always terrible incidents. Your thoughts always go out to workers’ families, their friends and their co-workers,” he said.

Bancarz said they have few details on what the workers were doing when the accident took place and the cause.

Mounties said they responded to the premises, which are located just east of the Queen Elizabeth II Highway and south of Airport Road, at 2:55 p.m. along with the fire department and emergency services.
