A Nutrien Ltd. employee was seriously injured at the Cory potash mine in Saskatchewan when a piece of a tunnel roof fell on him.
“Safety is always our first priority, and we take it very seriously,” a Nutrien spokesman told Green Markets. “Unfortunately, on Thursday Sept. 29, one of our colleagues, an underground employee at our Cory potash mine in Saskatchewan, was seriously injured in a ground fall – when a piece of tunnel roof falls down.
“Our Mines Rescue Team responded and provided immediate care prior to his being transported to Saskatoon hospital, where he is undergoing treatment. We are hopeful for his recovery, and are working with the Saskatchewan Mine Inspector to review the incident,” the spokesman added.
