Scaffold Collapse Update - 3 Workers Injured.
This workplace accident happened just 4.5 kms from
Worksafes Head Office in
Melbourne.
This is a serious problem for
worksafe considering, it
happened right under their
noses!
Three tradesmen were injured in the chaotic scene after five storeys of
scaffolding came crashing down about 9.50am.
A 24-year-old man was reportedly found hanging upside down with his legs
trapped after scaffolding collapsed on a busy road in the inner Melbourne
suburb of Prahran this morning.The 24-year-old suffered serious neck, arm
and leg injuries.His workmates were lucky to excape with minor injuries.
One 28-year-old man fell four floors but only suffered a fractured finger
along with cuts and bruises, while another 52-year-old colleague suffered
chest injuries after reportedly jumping to safety as the structure gave way.
The three tradesmen were treated at the nearby Alfred Hospital and
Prahran Market Clinic, which both located within a few hundred metres
from the construction site on trendy Commercial Road.
Myki from Hoochi Mammaz Hair Salon in nearby Cato St told ninemsn he
"felt the ground move" when the scaffolding collapsed.
"My salon shook and the first thing I thought was, 'Oh God, it's a terrorist
"My salon shook and the first thing I thought was, 'Oh God, it's a terrorist
attack'," he said.
A group of pensioners who had scrambled into his salon in the moments after
the collapse told him it didn't appear to be terror-related."I was relieved …
but everyone's still a bit numb at the moment," he said.
Another witness said the crashing sound was like "thunder".
"We heard a 'bang, bang, bang' noise, it was ridiculous how loud it was,"
"We heard a 'bang, bang, bang' noise, it was ridiculous how loud it was,"
said Sophie Stirling from nearby PABS Furniture Rental."It was like thunder,
the most amazing noise I've ever heard — my boss automatically said 'it's got
to be that building' and we rushed outside."It's crushed quite a few cars and
the scaffolding was strewn halfway across the road."
The tradesmen injured in the incident were building a hotel on the site of an
old Bob Jane T-Mart site where the incident took place
Most of the workers are believed to have been at morning tea when the
scaffolding collapsed, which appears to have spared more injuries.
Five cars and a van were buried in the rubble but no people at ground level are
believed to have been injured in the accident.
