Hyundai Metaplant Faces Growing Safety Concerns After Third Worker Death in Two Years

• Share on:

ELLABELL - Allen Kowalski died on May 20 after a metal frame fell on him while he was attempting to stabilize a load at the Hyundai electric vehicle factory construction site. His death marked the second fatality at the HL-GA Battery factory within two months, raising concerns about safety oversight amid a series of serious accidents, including two emergency airlifts. Despite Hyundai's efforts to improve safety protocols and a commitment to a "safety first" culture, experts suggest that the high pace of construction and inadequate safety measures may have contributed to the alarming accident rate at the site, which has seen three worker fatalities in less than two and a half years.
