Factory worker pinned by steel pipe

A 30-year-old man was this morning trapped under a 1.3 tonne steel pipe at a galvanising factory in Mt Wellington, Auckland.

The man has been taken to hospital with deep bruising after the pipe rolled onto him about 10am, pinning him against a wall.

The Department of Labour's Occupational Safety and Health will investigate the incident at CSP Galvanising.
