After two serious safety incidents in consecutive days, the Boston-area’s largest contractor voluntarily issued a safety stand down on all projects in Boston through May 6.
The action follows one incident on May 4 in which three workers were injured, one seriously, after a catwalk collapsed during demolition of the 124-year-old Edison Power Plant in South Boston. A wall collapsed and landed on one worker’s legs and lower body, leaving him with life-threatening injuries.
