The highly anticipated opening of the FHL Tower in Suva has been postponed due to a workplace incident at the construction site on November 25, 2024.
Fijian Holdings Limited (FHL) reported that two workers were injured during the incident, which took place at the active site managed by the project’s main contractor. In light of the event, FHL issued a statement expressing its thoughts and prayers for the injured workers and their families, emphasizing the company’s commitment to support them during this challenging time.
The decision to delay the tower’s opening underscores FHL’s dedication to prioritizing safety and fulfilling its responsibilities to workers, shareholders, and the community. The company has reassured shareholders that updates will be provided as more information about the incident and its implications emerges.
As of now, a new timeframe for the completion and opening of the tower has not been established.
Despite the setback, FHL’s proactive response and emphasis on safety reflect a commitment to maintaining high standards in construction. This focus on worker welfare could ultimately foster a safer working environment in the future.
In summary, while the delay is certainly disappointing for many, the well-being of workers should always come first, paving the way for a more secure and responsible construction industry moving forward.
