A HORRIFIC freak accident at a popular city function = centre=20 yesterday killed a maintenance worker.

A 53-year-old = Sheidow Park=20 man died when he was trapped and crushed in a service chute at St = Paul's=20 Function Centre in Pulteney St just before midday.=20

Paramedics rushed to the centre after reports the man had = become stuck=20 in the wall cavity of a dumbwaiter. Emergency services workers = said the=20 maintenance worker had leaned into the dumbwaiter chute when it = was=20 activated.=20

Investigators would not say yesterday whether the mechanical = lift, used=20 for transporting food between floors, was accidentally activated = by=20 another person or if a malfunction caused it to start.=20

A lift expert, Mark Wheaton, of Master Lifts SA, said the = mechanics of=20 a dumbwaiter should ensure it did not operate if any doors were = open. An=20 isolator switch also should have locked the power off before any = servicing=20 was done.=20

"If it does work it means either the machine is not compliant = or has=20 malfunctioned," he said.=20

MFS spokesman Peter Hall said the man was caught by the machine = as it=20 moved towards the second floor, other employees hearing the man's = cries=20 for help.=20

"Other workers close to the area must have heard him and went = to help=20 before calling the ambulance," he said.=20

"He was trapped partially inside the dumbwaiter between the = first and=20 second floors."=20

Emergency workers used jaws of life and spreaders to try to = free the=20 man from the area. The man was still alive when ambulance crews = arrived=20 but they were unable to remove him from the cavity confines and he = died=20 minutes later.=20

Workplace safety authority, SafeWork SA, are investigating the = incident=20 and a report will be prepared for the coroner.=20

The man's death is the third at an SA workplace in four months. = In=20 December last year, a 56-year-old man died after becoming trapped = in a=20 barley silo at Long Plains.=20

Two days later a 34-year-old construction worker died after = being=20 crushed by a travelator he was installing at a Pasadena shopping = centre.=20

In the past financial year, 100 workplace investigations were = finalised=20 and referred to the Crown Solicitors Office for legal action and = there=20 were 15 workplace fatalities.
