Injury lawyers warns workers over dangers
An injury lawyer has warned workers to remain aware when it comes to health and safety matters, and to report any failures in risk assessment.
The advice comes after three construction workers were affected by personal injuries after being hit by a machine.
The mobile construction machine crashed into temporary steel work, injuring the three labourers. The work accident happened around Wednesday 3.30pm last week.
The collapse of the steel work hit the workers, throwing them to the ground. As a result, the contractor for the project was forced to halt construction work for a day after the incident.
In similar news, officials are looking into another construction accident, where an operator of an asphalt machine happened to fall to his death when working.
The employee suddenly fell off the large piece of equipment pouring asphalt and landed on the ground, which claimed his life.
The victim was a 23-year-old. Injury lawyers have stated that workers may be able to receive compensation for any work injuries.
