Worksafe investigates second worker death

Worksafe will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a worker on a Perth construction site, the second workplace death in a week in Western Australia.

Emergency crews took hours to recover the body of the man who died after becoming trapped in a water-filled trench at the Mosman Park work site on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, a tree lopper aged in his 40s was struck by a branch while in a cherry picker in Waroona.
