Sydney work site closed after fatal fall January 9, 2014 - 4:04PM A work site at Barangaroo in central Sydney has been closed after a man fell to his death. Police say officers were told the 30-year-old fell from scaffolding on the building site on Hickson Road. Ambulance officers were called about 8.30am (AEDT) and tried to revive the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Site developer Lend Lease says it is working closely with authorities following the death. "Our thoughts are with the worker's family and friends," it said in a statement. We are investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident. The site has been closed and workers sent home. Acting NSW Premier Andrew Stoner also offered his sympathies to the worker's family. WorkCover NSW is investigating. A Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) spokesman said it was believed the worker should not have been in the area he was working in. That's probably because of the lack of supervision on site. He shouldn't have been there in the first place," he told Macquarie Radio.
