Stricter licensing conditions have been imposed on a building company after five construction workers collapsed last month at a University of Sunshine Coast building site.
Temperatures hit 32.7 degrees at the University’s new Moreton Bay Foundation construction site on February 13, leading to five workers requiring medical attention during a concrete pour.
The Queensland Building and Construction Commission subsequently imposed requirements on building company Hansen Yuncken such as conducting an audit of its safety management systems.
The University said they have a close working relationship with the builder and the foundation building is on track to open next year.
