Elon Musk's Boring Company has been fined more than $112K for safety violations by the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration at the Vegas Loop underground tunnel last summer.
According to the OSHA inspection, about 15 to 20 workers were injured while working at the tunnel in the span of two months. The inspection report alleges a chemical mixture inadvertently went into the skin of between 10 and 15 workers causing rashes and burns.
The report goes on to say no showers were available for workers sprayed by the hazards. OSHA also found there was no personal protective equipment provided to protect workers against the chemicals. SEE MORE: First human Neuralink patient can move a mouse cursor, Elon Musk says
A company called Jackson Lewis filed a notice of contest to OSHA on behalf of the Boring Company, writing in part: "TBC contests all citations issued by Nevada OSHA. In addition to TBC's belief that Nevada OSHA has failed to establish that the alleged violations occurred, TBC contests all of the citations' classifications, required abatement, abatement deadlines, proposed penalties, and every other matter subject to contest."
The Boring Company did not respond to Scripps News Las Vegas' request for comment. Nevada OSHA said it cannot comment on this matter because the employer is contesting all citations.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority provided a statement reading: "The OSHA violations were brought to our attention by The Boring Company last summer. Those incidents were reviewed and addressed at that time. The LVCVA is committed to ensuring the health and safety of those employed on any LVCVA project. That expectation was emphasized with The Boring Company during last summerâs review."
