UPDATE:
WORKPLACE Health and Safety Queensland and police are at a Capalaba construction site after a man was hurt there earlier today.
A Workplace Health and Safety Queensland spokesperson said it appeared part of a wall had hit the man – a construction worker – as it fell.
It is understood the man, aged in his 50s, also fell from the two-metre high scaffolding.
The incident happened about 1.40pm today at the Old Cleveland Road site, which is under construction by TPM Builders, near the KFC drive-through store.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson had earlier said the man was taken in a serious condition to the Princess Alexandra Hospital with reported head injuries.
Queensland Police Inspector Jeff Coote said it was not yet known if the man was hurt by his fall from the scaffolding or by contact with the fallen bricks.
He said police were securing the scene as Workplace Health and Safety Queensland inspected the site.
Information from the Bureau of Meteorology suggests wind gusts reached about 37km/hr about 1.30pm today, measured from Alexandra Hills.
The incident follows the death of a man at a Cleveland industrial property in July. The man was fatally injured in an incident involving a truck at Enterprise Street’s ShawX Manufacturing.
