I expect from my employer to ensure my safety while working with heavy machinery

Providing the employees with relevant protective
gear.

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?
