A Finnish construction worker who died after falling four metres from scaffolding had reportedly raised safety concerns just hours before the incident. Miikael 'Mikey' Varuhin, 32, suffered a catastrophic brain injury at the Clayfield development site in Brisbane on Easter Monday. He was later pronounced dead at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
Details of the Incident
Mr Varuhin, who had moved to Queensland seven years ago and fallen in love with Australia, had dreams of starting a family. His sister, Anniina, described him as a selfless individual who always wanted to help others. He was an organ donor and is estimated to have saved up to five lives.
Safety Concerns Raised
According to reports, Mr Varuhin had expressed concerns about the scaffolding on the site and even took a photograph of it on his phone just hours before the fatal fall. Anniina stated that her brother's death was an 'injustice', adding, 'Nobody should go to work and never come back.'
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland is currently investigating the incident.
