Safety concerns continue to hamper stadium work

By Associated Press in Sao Paulo | China Daily | Updated: 2014-04-03 08:22

In an effort to reverse an order that halted construction of part of the stadium that will host the opening game of the World Cup, Brazilian organizers are installing safety features at the site of a construction worker's death.

The addition of new safety rails on Tuesday came a day after labor officials said the installation of 20,000 temporary seats at Itaquerao stadium could not continue until safety concerns were addressed.

On Saturday, a 23-year-old worker died after falling from about 26 feet while installing the seats needed for the opener.
