A worker was killed on the job in Stony Plain on Tuesday.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) said the person was stuck by a piece of equipment at a road construction site.

It was the second work-place fatality in two days in the Edmonton area. 

On Monday, OHS said a person was struck by equipment and killed at an equipment supply company.

OHS would not release details on either of the deaths, as both are currently under investigation.
