Building 418 is located at the northern end of our Bentley campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"size-15\" lang=\"x-size-15\"><span class=\"font-arial\">Our latest advice is that a worker was killed and another two workers have been taken to hospital with injuries. Emergency services staff are in attendance and are managing the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"size-15\" lang=\"x-size-15\"><span class=\"font-arial\">Our thoughts are naturally with the families and loved ones of these individuals at this time, as well as all others affected by this tragedy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"size-15\" lang=\"x-size-15\"><span class=\"font-arial\">I also wanted to let you know that no Curtin students or staff were involved in the incident.
