WorkSafe has been called in to investigate a death at a Truganina factory.

It’s believed a 59-year-old man was thrown from the basket of a scissor lift after the lift toppled over.

“It is understood the 59-year-old man was servicing an overhead bridge crane at the workplace when it started moving and the scissor lift he was working from toppled over,” a statement said.
