 Workers involved in the construction of a major BHP Billiton railway project in the Pilbara were sent home from work for the third day in a row yesterday due to safety breaches.
And ongoing concerns over the project could force workers to stay away for a fourth day today.
A worker on one of the campsites, who wished to remain anonymous, said everyone involved in the RGP5 rail line project, which spreads about 200km from Port Headland to Redmont, was told to go back to their camps on Monday.
