UPDATE: Man still critical after Biggenden Meatworks accident

UPDATE 3.40PM: Earlier reports that the man involved in an accident at the Biggenden Meatworks had died were incorrect.

A spokesman from from Queensland Workplace Health and Safety told the NewsMail and the Brisbane Times the man had died but a Queensland Health spokeswoman has since confirmed the man is still in a critical condition at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

The Workplace Health and Safety spokesman said the man suffered head injuries when he was struck by a ramp while unloading pigs this morning.

"We'll be investigating this and looking at the systems at work, the incident itself, and how that ramp was situated," the spokesman said.

Inspectors have begun their investigations at the site.

The Biggenden Meatworks has taken down their Facebook post from this morning advising customers that the facility was closed for the day.

The worker in his late 30s or early 40s was rushed to Biggenden Hospital with head and facial injuries before being airlifted to Bundaberg Hospital.
