A forklift has run over a man's leg at a workplace in south-east Queensland.

The man, aged in his 60s, suffered serious injuries to his lower leg when it was run over about 10.20am on Friday.

Paramedics were called to Glanmire, an industrial suburb at Gympie, about 160 kilometres north of Brisbane, to treat the man.

Paramedics assessed him on scene before he was taken to Gympie Hospital in a stable condition.
