Farmer fatally struck by shed roof
WorkSafe Victoria is investigating a fatal incident in which a farmer died after being struck by a shed roof that detached in strong winds at Mirboo North.
It is believed the 50-year-old was operating a quad bike while moving cattle when he and several cows were hit at about 6 pm, on 13 February 2024.
The death is the second confirmed workplace fatality for 2024. There were nine work-related deaths at the same time last year.
