The Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration has imposed a fine on the company that oversees the construction of the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Mortensen / McCarthy was fined $ 13,494 for the rape, which is related to two incidents when workers at the Raiders Stadium site allegedly failed to follow established social distancing guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19. There have been multiple positive tests among workers at the site.

Mortensen / McCarthy refutes the finding and is contesting the fine.

“Mortenson / McCarthy is committed to complying with all health and safety regulations, and we maintain our strong safety record at the Allegiant Stadium project,” the company said in a statement. “Our team has actively communicated and diligently applied the changing requirements of Nevada OSHA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with our project partners and up to 2,000 on-site workers each day. Our team has continued to make changes and adjustments as needed or identified in an effort to protect everyone on the project. “

Repeated violations of OSHA guidelines could lead to fines of more than $ 134,000. The project is nearing completion and the Raiders are expected to play their first games in their new home later this year.
