Stadium Worker Hurt in Scaffolding Accident

August 5, 2015

In early July, a scaffolding accident took place at the Atlanta Falcon’s

new stadium construction near the intersection of Mangum and Mitchell

streets. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, is

investigating whether a workplace violation occurred. According to an

Atlanta police spokesperson, the worker suffered a severe head injury.

The Holder, Hunt, HJ Russell and CD Moody construction companies issued

a statement saying the worker was hurt during “scaffolding removal.”

The Falcons’ new stadium is being built just to the south of the

Georgia Dome where the team currently plays. Construction began last May

and is expected to finish for the 2017 NFL season.
