Second oil tank collapses at Horizon site

A second oil storage tank has collapsed at the Canadian Natural Resources Horizon work site north of Fort McMurray. While no serious injuries occurred, the incident took place just three weeks ago that a tank collapse on the same site killed two Chinese migrant workers.

A stop work order in place from the first tank collapse likely prevented injuries and saved lives in this case.

Peter Janson, vice president of engineering for the Horizon site had this to say:

"It was good that the stop-work order was in place, and it's obvious to the rest of us that these stop orders that we get ... are put in place to avoid further injury in events like this where you just don't know what happened or what the causes are."

Safety is critical on any job site, and workers should be aware of their rights and what regulations are in place to protect them at all times.
