Construction of a segment of Metro Rail's Purple Line Extension has been halted for two weeks due to several"serious safety concerns" that have injured dozens of workers since July 2021, according to a report published today.
Workers have fallen off ladders, crushed fingers, slipped in mud, been struck by falling slurry and hit in the face by a failed hose while building a 2.6-mile segment of the extension that will extend the Purple Line from Western Avenue to the Westwood Veterans Affairs Hospital, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Metro officials said they have warned the project contractor, Tutor Perini O & G, about unsafe conditions at the underground site, but they were unchanged. “There is an ongoing pattern of safety issues that have not been adequately addressed by TPOG and that has continued to persist unchecked,” Metro officials said in a letter sent to the contractor Friday.
