Dive Brief:

• More than 13 years after terrorists destroyed New York’s World Trade Center, its centerpiece building, a newly constructed, 104-story replacement, opened for business on Monday.

• At the same time, the New York Daily News claimed its analysis of OSHA reports, court records, and medical documents revealed that injuries suffered by 34 construction workers during the $3.8 billion rebuilding were not reported to the government.

• The tabloid reported that between 2010 and 2012, the job site injury rate at the building was greater than the national average for the construction industry.

Dive Insight:

The Port Authority, which oversaw the construction, responded that safety regulations were strictly enforced during the building process, and that two job site deaths occurred—and both were reported to OSHA.
