Michelle Jones Quoted in Canadian HR Reporter Article About How to Respond When an Employee Dies on the Job

Lawson Lundell lawyer Michelle Jones was quoted in an article by Canadian HR Reporter titled, 'After the tragedy: how to respond when an employee dies on the job.' The article discusses the immediate response following a workplace death, dealing with regulators and investigators, communicating with families, and going beyond minimum compliance. 

“What you don't want to have is a situation where the family is finding out through co-workers or through the media, that there is emergency personnel on site, and that their loved one’s been injured,” Michelle said. “Even if you can't provide all the details … tell them what you do know and give them a single point of contact with your company.”

Additionally, Michelle works closely with project proponents, advising them on Indigenous law issues and representing them before regulatory bodies and courts.
