A MAN has died at a Carrum Downs workplace.
A statement from Worksafe read that “a production manager has died after a stack of 3.6 tonne panels fell on him as they were being unloaded from a shipping container on Tuesday [21 January].”
“It is believed the 56-year-old was inside the container at a Carrum Downs truck body manufacturer when the panels crushed him against the wall about 10.37am,” the statement read.
WorkSafe are investigating the man’s death.
There have been three fatalities at Victorian workplaces this year. Safe Work Australia estimates that 166 people were killed at work in Australia last year.
