Fijian Holdings Limited has announced that the stop work order on the FHL Tower has been lifted following confirmation from the Ministry of Labour that the site is now compliant with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations. As part of this compliance, FHL reported that all recommended safety measures have been integrated into current work practices to provide a safe working environment.
Additionally, Energy Fiji Limited has granted clearance for the site’s electrical installations, confirming that they meet the necessary utility interface protocols and load distribution requirements. With the restoration of temporary power, work on the FHL Tower is set to resume, bringing a sense of renewal to this significant construction project.
FHL remains dedicated to delivering a landmark development that aligns with the aspirations of shareholders, tenants, and the broader community. The commitment to safety and compliance with regulations reflects the company’s strong corporate responsibility and reinforces its focus on community well-being.
This development follows a tumultuous period for the FHL Tower, which had faced delays due to serious safety incidents in late 2024. The earlier incidents highlighted the critical importance of workplace safety and prompted FHL to adopt even stricter safety measures, an approach that enhances trust and confidence among stakeholders and the local community.
While project delays are often seen as setbacks, FHL’s proactive measures and commitment to a culture of safety set a hopeful precedent for future construction practices in Fiji. This revitalization of the project offers the community anticipation for the FHL Tower, which promises to be an economic and architectural asset upon completion. Such a focus on safety and regulatory compliance suggests a brighter outlook for the region’s construction industry moving forward.
