Worker Dies in Hospital After Falling from Scissor Lift

A 63-year-old man has died from the injuries he sustained in an incident involving a scissor lift at a warehouse in Derrimut, Melbourne on the 22nd of December.

It is believed that the man was servicing an overhead gantry crane from the platform of the extended scissor lift when it was struck by the moving crane, causing it to roll over.

He died last week in hospital. WorkSafe is investigating.
