How the partnership came together and what it means to OSHA, MCC and the workers onsite.
Manhattan Construction Company is the construction manager for the Globe Life Field project, a 1.7 million-square-foot project in Arlington, Texas, that includes construction of a new 40,000-seat baseball park with a retractable roof and a multi-purpose entertainment and sports facility for the Texas Rangers Baseball Club and the City of Arlington. Manhattan and OSHA signed a partnership in July 2018 to help protect approximately 1,000 workers during the construction, with the stadium planned to be completed by the team’s March 2020 opening day. The partnership is focused on reducing and preventing exposure to construction hazards and promoting communication between contractors and subcontractors to improve safety and health during the construction.
