The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration says it is investigating the death of a contractor foreman on the Robbinsville, N.J., project of the BAPS Hindu sect, a 160-site site that includes what the sect said is its largest temple outside India. Work by another contractor there had been ordered shut down by state officials last year because of worker underpayments and immigration violations.
Robbinsville Police Chief Michael Polaski identified the worker who died as Antonio A. Marques, 57, who he said was a foreman for Flats and Curbs Inc., a concrete contractor in Union, N.J. He suffered fatal injuries on Sept. 23 in a mishap with a front-end loader he was operating while installing block curbing, said Polaski.
