A contractor’s employee died at the site early Thursday, Suncor spokesman Leithan Slade said in an email. The victim was a 26-year-old man from Fort McMurray, Alta., according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In April, Suncor investor Elliott Investment Management LP called for five directors to be added to the producer’s board and sought a management review after operational mishaps and accidents at its oilsands projects caused the company to miss production targets. A truck accident in January killed a contractor and injured two others at the Base Plant mine. In June of last year, a person was killed at the Syncrude mine, and two deaths happened in December 2020 at the Fort Hills mine.
Suncor’s safety record has been a contributing factor to its poor investment returns. The company’s share price has risen about 18 per cent over the past five years, trailing the roughly 79 per cent gain for rival Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.Article contentBecause of the death, Suncor will postpone a presentation on its oilsands operations, scheduled for July 13, to the fall, according to a company statement.
