Worker Dies After Falling Off a Cherry Picker
 
On December 21, 2009, a worker dies after falling off a cherry picker while de-icing a plane at the Calgary airport.

The man was 30 years old and working alone on the Servisair aircraft. Police don't believe anyone in the aircraft witnessed the fall. The man was discovered by a co-worker who came to his aid.

"Police consider the fall an industrial accident and don't suspect foul play.

Because the airport falls under federal jurisdiction, officials from the Human Resources Department are leading the investigation, Williams said."

"The employer, Servisair, issued a statement Monday offering sympathy to the man's family and friends.

"Servisair is working with the authorities and regulators on their investigation, as well as conducting our own investigation into this tragic event. Out of respect for the family and friends of the employee we are not providing any further details."
