AN INVESTIGATION into the use of ratchet straps on a structure perched atop one of the Gold Coast’s tallest towers has resulted in six notices being issued by safety inspectors.
But Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) has been tight-lipped about the reasons for the notices amid the multi-agency probe at Broadbeach’s The Oracle Hinterland Tower.
Gold Coast City Council and the Queensland Building and Construction Commission said last week they were also involved in investigations.
On Wednesday, a tradie working on the roof of the 40-storey skyscraper provided images and a video of dozens of tie-downs wrapped around the structure which is rust-stained in parts.
