Occupational Health and Safety confirms it is investigating after a Calgary man was killed in a workplace accident at Inland Machining Services on Friday.
Friends have identified the victim as 58-year-old Bhupinder Singh Ubhi.
“He really showcased the beauty of being a good person,” Ubhi’s friend and neighbour Saima Jamal said. “This accident came out of nowhere. That’s just left us all very very devastated.
“He has a whole community with him that is mourning.”

Ubhi was born in India before immigrating to Kenya, and later, Canada.
He was a well-known volunteer with the Calgary Immigrant Support Society.
“We would go around helping families that are in need, that are brand new in the city, that are going through a really hard time,” Jamal added. “Whenever we put a call out that somebody needed groceries, Bhupinder would right away go get them and the only question asked is just what is needed and where do I drop it off.”
