A crane firm has been fined $100 000 over an accident that killed a man and injured four others at a railway construction site in Telarah in 2009.
Subcontractor rail workers were unloading 35 tonnes of steel tracks and sleepers from a crane, when the panel holding the materials broke apart.
The 34-year-old sub-contractor died after being crushed by lengths of steel which sprang free from th load.
One man lost an arm and three others were badly injured.
Boom Logistics Pty Ltd, the Melbourne based company that owned the crane, pleaded guilty to a breach of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
In April this a year a railway company was also fined $200,000 over the same incident.
