Key points:

• The incident happened at a construction site at 108 Southbank Boulevard
• Four men were injured when sprayed by high pressured concrete and aggregate
• The force of the blast broke the window of a passing car

The incident happened about 1:15pm on the construction site at 108 Southbank, a new high-rise which, when finished, will be one of Melbourne's tallest buildings.

MFB Commander Rick Gili said the men were sprayed with crushed rocks, gravel and wet cement.

"The cleaning mechanism at the back of a concrete truck became dislodged and shot out debris that included bits of concrete and aggregate," he said.

"That aggregate hit three people who were working on site — one in the face, one in the back, and one in the back of the head."
