The man was working in the council's workshop on Sherbrooke Road in Willawong, on Brisbane's southside, when the accident happened.

He was treated by critical care paramedics and taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a serious condition with head and facial injuries.
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland has sent an inspector to the site and launched an investigation.
