Share this with others:

BlueScope can confirm that just before 10:30am this morning a fatal incident occurred at the Port Kembla Steelworks involving a male contractor in his mid-twenties who was working opposite the No.5 Stockhouse.

Emergency services are on site and we are cooperating with their investigation. Our preliminary understanding is that a steel beam being lifted by a crane has fallen and fatally struck the contractor.

Our immediate priority is supporting our people, the first responders and the family of those involved.

We are deeply saddened by this tragedy.

We will provide further information when we are able.
