Collapsed concrete pourer kills worker

A MAN in his early 20s died at a building site on Eastlake Parade, Kingston Foreshore, this morning.

At 9.44am police were called to the construction site where a concrete pourer had collapsed injuring three workers.

Intensive care paramedics tried to resuscitate the man without success. The two injured workers have been taken to Canberra Hospital for treatment.

ACT Policing are preparing a brief for the ACT Coroner with the assistance of Work Safe ACT.

Anyone who is yet to speak to police and witnessed the incident is asked to call police on 131 444.

The ACT construction industry is under a lot of pressure at the moment as construction companies have to tighten their belts to be successful. This means all construction staff are under tight time constants which leads to excessive hours and high work loads. It’s is a very said day for all in the industry.
