WorkSafe ACT has announced a workplace accident involving a construction truck and crane.
The incident happened at a building site in Denman Prospect when a construction truck and crane rolled.
There were no injuries but WorkSafe has launched an investigation into what is considered a dangerous incident.
The truck, carrying a crane on the back, tipped over onto it’s side, possibly because the load was too heavy for the vehicle.
A start-up tech company want’s to take self driving technology to the construction site, by adapting the technology for excavators and construction machinery.
The company wants to modify excavators and other construction machinery to be autonomous, so that human labour can be freed up to undertake more complex tasks.The compay says this will address the shortage of trained drivers.
The company called Built Robotics said tuning excavators with technology that allow them to drive themselves and do basic tasks such as earth moving, will leave more time for skilled drivers to do the most complicated tasks that require more expertise.

Construction vehicles in general are huge but the vehicles in this video give new meaning to the word “huge”.
The collossal sized trucks are certainly impressive to behold. Imagine working with these monsters?
