Vic: Three workplace deaths in three days

Workplace Victoria has urged employers and workers to review potential dangers after
three workplace deaths in as many days.

On Tuesday .. a 26-year-old Sunbury man died after he suffered an electric shock while
changing a light globe in Melbourne's north.

On Wednesday .. a truck driver was killed after his tipper hit powerlines while unloading
on a farm in Victoria's north-west.

And on Thursday .. a man died in hospital after receiving crushing injuries at Abbotsford
on April 13.

WorkSafe's Executive Director JOHN MERRITT says the tragic week should serve as a wake-up call.
