Man killed in factory fall

A man in his 70s has died after falling about four metres at a factory in Clayton.

It is believed the man was working inside a makeshift cage attached to a forklift when the cage came off the forklift tines and fell to the ground.

WorkSafe is investigating the death which occurred at a business on McNaughton Road.

The fatality brings the number of workplace deaths this year to 10, which is one more than at the same time last year.
