Heavy Machinery Accident Prevention

What can I expect from my employer to ensure my safety while working with heavy machinery on a construction site?

An employer must ensure that safety protocols are followed while operating heavy machinery and equipment. This includes:

·         Training workers to operate the heavy machinery or work equipment.
·         Regular maintenance of all machinery and work equipment.
·         Performing necessary repairs.
·         Providing the employees with relevant protective gear.
·         Ensuring that full protective gear is always worn when operating heavy machinery or work equipment.

  1. I was working at a construction site. A co-worker of mine was keeping cement bags with the help of a forklift. Suddenly the forklift rope snapped, and the cement bags fell on me. I was badly injured and my backbone was broken. Can I file a compensation claim for my injuries?
