Man injured – rescue operation from 25 meters height on a construction site

Date:

After an accident at work on Tuesday morning, an injured construction worker was rescued at a height of about 25 meters by height rescuers from the Vienna Fire Department using a rescue bucket and a rotating tower crane.

A construction worker was injured in a work accident in Vienna-Alsergrund on Tuesday morning. The accident took place on the AKH site in a new building on Lazarettgasse. According to their spokesman Christian Feiler, the Vienna fire brigade was alerted around 8 a.m. The worker was so injured at a height of about 25 meters that he had to be rescued in a rescue barge.

Initially, 30 emergency services were on site
The rescuers from the professional fire brigade saved the man with the help of the professional rescue team. The injured person was placed in the tub and maneuvered to street level using the rotating tower crane available on the construction site, where he was handed over to the professional rescue team.

Because it was initially unclear what exactly had happened, six vehicles from the professional fire brigade and another two from the AKH company fire brigade arrived on the scene with a total of about thirty emergency services. The quota was then quickly reduced.
