FIVE paramedics are treating two patients after scaffolding collapsed at a worksite north of Brisbane.
Paramedics, including a critical care unit, were called to Apex Ave, Kippa-Ring, at 12.11pm.
Two men have been transported to Redcliffe Hospital in a stable condition with limb injuries.
Work is continuing at the site, with no evidence of any collapsed scaffolding visible from the site access point on Apex Ave, or the exterior on Anzac Avenue.
Three workers at the site on Apex Ave said they didn’t see what happened.
“All I know is two blokes fell and they’ve been carted off to hospital, yeah I think they’re alright,” one of the tradies, who did not wish to be named, said.
“The foreman is inside having a meeting with workplace health and safety now, they’re here too.”
A spokesman from BLD (Building Legal Developments) declined to comment.
