Labourer killed after losing control of loader
Kaieteur News – A 46-year-old labourer identified as Nadir Baksh died on Wednesday after losing control of a Front-end loader at a construction site located at Vive La Force, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
Baksh was employed with Builders Hardware Construction and was at the time attempting to manoeuvre the loader across a bridge at the construction site when tragedy struck.
The Ministry of Labour Occupational Health and Safety Department has launched an investigation into the workplace fatality and identified the construction site as a new housing development. “During the manoeuvre an unmarked sand truck reportedly approached the loader at close range, which caused him to lose control of the vehicle”, the Ministry of Labour said. The ministry continued in its statement that at the time of the incident, another labourer, identified as 21-year-old Mr. Parmesh, was standing in the bucket of the loader. When Baksh lost control, he jumped into the canal and sustained minor injuries but Baksh was pinned. Investigations are still ongoing.
