The Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (MassCOSH) decried the deaths less than five days apart of two immigrant workers at construction and shipping work sites in Boston. The group says with multi-story building under construction and new projects announced throughout greater Boston, employers and contractors "must step up their safety efforts to stem injuries and deaths." According to MassCOSH’s 2013 report “Dying for Work in Massachusetts,” the construction industry remains one of the most dangerous for workers in the state, with six on-the-job fatalities in 2012.
