NSW Ambulance duty operations manager Inspector Jenny Porter praised witnesses for trying to revive the man.

'No one goes to work expecting not to come home. The bystanders who worked quickly to try and save him by administering CPR should be commended,' she told The Australian.

'General first aid knowledge, CPR skills and a defibrillator on site provide that best chance, sadly despite everyone's best efforts the patient was unable to be revived.'

NSW Police and Safe Work NSW are investigating the incident and report will be prepared for the coroner.

'SafeWork is currently responding to notification of a fatal incident at Smithfield this morning where a man was apparently struck and killed by a steel girder,' a SafeWork NSW spokesperson said.

'SafeWork will be investigating the incident and preparing a report for the Coroner.'
