A crane operator has been fined for $4,400 for injuring another worker when his crane collapsed at Karratha Quarter construction site in 2015.
The incident occurred in June 2015, when the boom of 160-tonne crane bent and collapsed while lifting a concrete panel over the top of nearby buildings.
It was reported that the crane operator had overloaded the crane and had overridden the crane’s in-built safety functions to do so.
