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 wereinjured,事后sly, 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.

5月5日，一名工人在该市南端社区的一个单独的建筑工地跌落30英尺后受伤。据当地媒体报道reports.

US Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials responded to the fall and are investigating the incident, also per media reports.

Suffolk temporarily paused all work on its Boston projects through May 6 following the second accident.

“This safety stand down will include a comprehensive review and evaluation of existing safety standards and procedures,” John Fish, Suffolk chairman and CEO said in a statement. “We will also use this safety stand down as an opportunity to reinforce jobsite safety awareness and provide our teams the opportunity to secure, evaluate, clean and organize their jobsites for the restart of work. In the event this evaluation requires more time for an individual job site, that site may remain closed until the review is complete and prepared to safely re-open.”
