Two dead in separate workplace incidents in Victoria
WorkSafe Victoria is investigating the deaths of two workers who were killed in unrelated workplace incidents on Friday. A 53-year-old crane operator died in Dandenong South after he was crushed by steel beams weighing several tonnes at about 11.15 am. It is understood that a coupling failed, causing the beams to fall on the worker.
Less than three hours later, in Kyabram, a 56-year-old worker died after a tractor-spreader combination he was operating overturned. The man was driving the vehicle on a road when it jack-knifed and rolled at about 2 pm.
The two deaths bring the workplace fatality toll to nine for 2022, six fewer than at the same time last year.
