UDDIN MOHAMMAD ZOSIM v CES ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION PTE.LTD.

A construction worker sued his employer for negligence and breach of workplace safety duties after he was allegedly flung two metres when a rebar broke while he was using a rebar bender at a worksite. The key issues were whether the employer breached its duty of care and statutory duties under the Workplace Safety and Health Act. The District Court dismissed the claim, finding the claimant was an experienced worker with seven years of rebar-bending experience who did not require supervision, and there was no evidence the rebar bender was defective.
