A commercial food processing company is facing 26 charges after an Edmonton worker became trapped in a smokehouse and died.
Ontario-based Sofina Foods Inc. is charged with offences under Alberta health and safety laws.
The province says the facility supervisor had gone to check the temperature of the smokehouse in March 2023 and was trapped inside.
The employee was found by a co-worker and later died due to heat exposure.
Smokehouses are used to process and preserve meat.
It's alleged the company failed to ensure the smokehouse was well maintained and not a risk for staff.
