WorkSafe is investigating the death of a worker who was found at the bottom of a silo at a quarry in Montrose, east of Melbourne, on Saturday.
It is understood the 54-year-old man had fallen about 18 metres though a void at the top of the silo before he was discovered around 3pm.
The death is the fourth confirmed workplace fatality for 2025. There were 18 work-related deaths at the same time last year.
