Worker killed on building site The Australian
At present, no licence is required to drive all-terrain cranes such as the Manitou involved in today's incident.
'It is absurd that in NSW the smallest of forklifts requires a licence, yet anyone on a building site is allowed to drive around in one of those Manitou rough terrain cranes,' Mr Parker said.
'How can anyone be surprised that a tragic death like this has occurred when WorkCover is determined to keep a ridiculous system in place that says a small forklift is less dangerous than one of these much larger cranes, which have had accidents in the past?'------------------------------------------- posted 1:39 PM :: reference link ::
