🏗️ Tragic Scaffolding Collapse at LNG Site — What Are Your Scaffolding Safety Practices?
In May 2025, a devastating scaffolding collapse at the Port Arthur LNG construction site in Texas resulted in three worker fatalities and two serious injuries. The incident occurred during work on a Bechtel-led project. OSHA and local authorities are investigating possible structural failures and procedural lapses.
This tragedy is a sobering reminder that even routine work at height can quickly turn deadly when proper design, inspection, or load planning is overlooked.
- How often is scaffolding inspected at your site—and by whom?
- Do you have written procedures for weight/load limits and fall protection?
- What’s your emergency response plan for a scaffolding collapse or high-angle rescue?
💡 Question: Have you ever paused work due to concerns over scaffolding safety? What empowered that decision—and how did leadership respond?
