After the death of 52 -year -old man who was shot by a truck area, truck driver says that workers should be trained about the dangers of non -original equipment. Drivers working on long -distance routes along Wa Pilbara and Kimberley are often forced to replace their equipment and sun visors in the car to protect themselves from the sun. However, these modifications emerged as a potentially life -threatening after a Taçavran investigation of the 2020 death of Pilbara transport worker Darren Twine.

While some saw visors as a security measure, Worksafe's investigation found that their assets created blind spots and increased the risk of danger. In event death of Mr. Twine, investigation found that Sun viewfind may have limited appearance Sun viewfinder, so that 25 -year -old vehicle could not see his colleague while moving. "I hope end dangerous application using modified foil window tones under windows of heavy vehicle operators under windshields heavy vehicle operators."Said. Worksafe suggested that drivers should be trained on potential dangers of non -original visors.
