This activity sheet is for heavy equipment operators and their supervisors. It should be used in conjunction with the activity sheet for the activity in which the heavy equipment is being used (building demolition, utility restoration). Additionally, operators of cranes and aerial lifts should also refer to the precautions outlined in the activity sheets for those operations.
A fiduciary relationship can be found where, in the actual circumstances of the relationship, the principal can expect the fiduciary to act in his (the principal's) interests in the relationship in a fiduciary manner.
All agency relationships are fiduciary relationships. This means the relationship involves a high level of trust and confidence between the principal and the agent. Because the principal has trusted the agent to supervise or protect the principal's property, the agent owes a fiduciary duty to the principal.
