Of course not! it was an unauthorised, illegal building site.
Read the second part of the head line again!
Has the Health and Safety Authority of Portugal done a preliminary investigation to ensure that all of the safety standards were in place to protect the workers on this site. Unfortunately, Health and Safety is not taken seriously and the result is the disgraceful, unnecessary loss of life.
