When Simonette Randall and Jim Taifer learned there were 66 workplace deaths in Victoria last year they felt sick.
Their families are still reeling from the death of their son, Damien Taifer, at work in May 2017.
The 21-year-old was killed when the water truck he was driving rolled down a steep hill in West Gippsland.
Damien's employer was later convicted and fined after a forensic engineer found the poor condition of the truck's brakes was the primary cause of the crash.
