Two men, aged 36 and 52, died when a scaffold they were harnessed to collapsed, falling 26 stories to the ground on Saturday.

The use of the 'swinging stage' scaffolding system has been banned across the state, pending a full inquiry.

Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) spokesman Michael Ravbar says workers met at the Broadbeach construction site this morning.

"A couple of them come across the bodies and a lot of people witnessed the guys falling thorough the air to their deaths, so there's a lot of shock," he said.

"But now I've been told this morning the guys reconvened at the site at seven o'clock and a lot of people are pretty cranky and angry about what happened on Saturday but unfortunately there are still no answers."
