The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development reports that workplace safety will be a top priority as construction of the new Nissan Stadium begins on the East Bank of the Cumberland River in Nashville. During the three-year project, it is estimated various contractors and subcontractors will employ 19,000 workers.
With so many individuals needed to complete this project, the Tennessee Builders Alliance (TBA) has teamed up with the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration (TOSHA) to devise a plan that would help keep everyone safe and healthy while working on the project.
The new Nissan Stadium will encompass nearly 1.85 million square feet and have 60,000 seats, with a translucent roof that will allow for Tennessee Titans games and other large-scale events to take place during inclement weather.
