Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) has filed 10 charges against a Brooks-based water management agency in connection with the death of a diver in 2022. Among other charges, the province says the Eastern Irrigation District failed to ensure the safety of the worker and did not make sure the workers were properly trained for the task at hand. The company was conducting underwater maintenance at the Rolling Hills Reservoir and Lake Newell reservoir gates on Oct. 20, 2022.Sign up for break
