The 24-year-old is in a stable condition, CareFlight advised.

Safe Work NSW said it would investigate the incident and confirmed the man's injury was at a multi-storey residential construction site.

'The worker fell from level two of the site, around three metres,' the spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.

A rapid response helicopter landed at a Pymble school about 300 metres from the construction site about 9.10am.
