The independent agency is tasked with investigating air, marine, pipeline and rail transportation incidents in a bid to improve transportation safety.
“It is not the function of the board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability,” the TSB said in a statement.
The TSB said it expects to have more details in connection with the circumstances leading to the workers death in the coming days.
