A Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the man in his 40s suffered leg and chest injuries.

She said he was taken in a stable condition to Gold Coast University Hospital.

It comes just days after two tradesmen were rushed to hospital in a workplace accident at Ashmore that left one man in a critical condition.

James Badcock, 36, remains in the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a critical condition after suffering “flash burns” while working at Ashmore’s Pitstop shopping complex on Tuesday.

A second man, also injured, has since been released from Gold Coast University Hospital.

It’s understood the men were installing solar panels at the complex when the injuries occurred.

Workplace Health and Safety is investigating.
