Report says fatigue, lack of safety oversight contributed to crewmember death on Nunavut fishing vessel
The death of a worker (fisherman)who went overboard on a fishing vessel in Nunavut in 2021 highlights gaps in safety management on that boat and similar vessels in the territories, according to an investigation report released Thursday.
