A new inspection of the Corinthians club stadium to be used for the World Cup opening match between Brazil and Croatia on June 12 was to be carried out on Tuesday.
The worker died on Saturday after a 26 feet fall. Three workers have now been killed during the Sao Paulo construction and seven in World Cup work across Brazil. According to press reports, the man who died on Saturday may not have been wearing safety equipment. His employers have denied this.
The regional labour department ordered construction work halted on the two temporary tribunes until the company carrying out the work installs safety nets. The two tribunes have a capacity of 20,000 people and the Brazilian organisers are racing to get the stadium ready on time. Fast Engenharia, the company carrying out the construction, said in a statement to the G1 news website it would carry out a technical inspection on Tuesday before making any comment on the impact of the latest accident.
