The death of a Newcastle construction worker at a Sydney work site has raised safety concerns.
Tim Macpherson was working as a rigger on barge being used in the construction of a new ferry wharf at Barangaroo on Wednesday when he was struck and killed by a 3 tonne steel beam which fell on him.
He leaves behind a 14-month old son and his pregnant partner.
SafeWork NSW is investigating the death, however the Construction Union says it's concerned about whether the work was being carried out correctly, describing the tragedy as a case of industrial manslaughter.
