The worker fell more than 2½ metres at the CS Development Group building site on Victoria Street in West End on Tuesday afternoon, and was rushed to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a serious condition.
The CFMEU says workers at the site were concerned about safety in recent months, and the accident came about three months after the union posted a video to social media, highlighting concerns about the site.
“Have a look for yourself, this is what happens when the builder’s only concern is productivity over safety.” “Serious incidents are happening regularly on building and construction sites across the state, yet they are not being properly recorded,” Ravbar said.
