Tradesman dies in scissor lift accident
WorkSafe Victoria is investigating an incident where a 37-year-old man died while painting inside a factory in Brunswick, Melbourne.
The contractor was using an elevated work platform to reach windows near the roof when he struck a steel truss, dying at the scene.
This is the fourth workplace fatality of the year, which is one more than was recorded this time last year.
