A man has fallen from scaffolding at the National Gallery of Australia
construction site, injuring his ribs.
Last week two workers were lucky to escape injury at the same site after a
crane dropped a three-tonne concrete panel.
Work Cover representatives were at the site at the time of today's accident .
The Construction Union's Dean Hall says there are safety fears for workers
at the site."We're deeply concerned about the safety, or lack of safety culture,
that Manteena has, particularly their insistance to comply only to the bare
minimum standards," he said."They have an attitude thay they're shooting
from that and they continually point out to us how they're meeting the
minimum standard."
Manteena chief executive Simon Butt says the union is exploiting the situation.
"We feel we're being used by the CFMEU to push a few different barrows at the
moment," he said.
