Calgary-A 29-year old man was hospitalized in Saskatoon last week with a spinal injury and two broken arms after an accident at Agrium Inc.’s Vanscoy potash mine, according to the local press, which said the man’s injuries were not believed to be life threatening. The man was reportedly working underground and was injured by falling rocks. Agrium said it is working with Saskatchewan’s Mine Branch to do a full investigation of the accident. Agrium spokesman Richard Downey told Green Markets that once the review is complete it will be shared with the industry to reduce the chance of this type of accident occurring again. The man’s family requested his name be kept confidential, and Agrium is honoring their wishes.
