A 42-year-old man is dead after he was pulled into a machine at a food manufacturing factory in southern Manitoba on Thursday, RCMP say.
Police were called around 11:40 a.m. with a report of a workplace accident at the Rhineland Industrial Park just north of Altona, a town about 90 kilometres south of Winnipeg.Â
The man suffered severe injuries after he was pulled into a machine, RCMP said in a Friday news release.
He was treated by paramedics before he was taken to the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, where he died from his injuries.Â
RCMP say they are still investigating, and reported the injury to Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health.
A spokesperson for the province confirmed it had received a report about the incident, but determined the man’s employer is federally regulated.
The federal Labour Program will manage the investigation going forward, the provincial spokesperson said.
