Oilpatch workers should not be working alone in such a dangerous industry. We have lost alot of lives due to employees having to work alone. In March 2004 I lost my brother-in-law in a work related accident. I now have to watch my sister live without her one true love and my niece live without her father.My brother-in-law left for work at 7:45 p.m and was not found until over 10 hours later at 5:00 a.m, he was found on the lease in which he was sent to. He was on a sweet location but the facts are his truck was filled with a deadly sour gas.This petition is to make the highly profitable oil companies and government be responisible, and not have our husbands, wives,sons,daughters,mothers,and fathers in potential dangerous situations alone. I know that my brother-in-law and my family would not want any family to have endoured what we have had to endour . Thank-you, Sandra Rumbolt

RIDICULOUS that companies still allow lone working in high risk areas. They have the money to pay for a second man.

Heartbreaking story. Thinking of your family. This policy needs to change so nobody else has to bury a loved one like this.

My husband works these sites all the time and it scares me every single shift. Stop putting profits over human lives.

Worked in the patch for 15 years. Seen way too many accidents happen because help was too far away. Fix this now.

Too many guys lost out there. No one should be on a lease by themselves. Common sense really.
