Construction Site Blast in Port Adelaide: Workers Exposed to Toxic Dust, Union Raises Safety Concerns
A sudden explosion at a construction site in Port Adelaide released a cloud of cement dust, causing workers to cough and struggle to see. The CFMEU union warned of high silica and carbon monoxide exposure, blaming a pipeline fault and inadequate PPE. Forty-four workers were potentially affected, with some choosing to stay on site despite health risks. The Hallard Group, project owners, maintained they followed safety rules, but SafeWorkSA intervened, restricting site access until safety is confirmed.
