A new investigation has raised concerns about workplace safety at the Stargate AI data center project in Abilene, Texas, revealing a series of reported injuries, legal disputes and complaints from workers involved in constructing the massive facility.

The investigation, based on government records, court filings, emergency call logs and interviews with workers, alleges that a number of employees suffered serious injuries while working on the flagship site of the multibillion-dollar artificial intelligence infrastructure project. The report also points to allegations of inadequate safety practices and claims that some workers were required to sign non-disclosure agreements following workplace incidents.

Among the incidents highlighted were reports of broken bones, falls and other construction-related injuries. Some workers claimed they faced pressure to continue working despite raising concerns about safety conditions, while others alleged that complaints were not always addressed promptly. The investigation also details several lawsuits connected to workplace accidents at the site.

Contractors involved in the project have disputed allegations that worker safety has been neglected, maintaining that safety remains a top priority and that the construction site complies with applicable industry standards and regulations. According to the companies, safety protocols are continuously reviewed as work progresses on the large-scale development.

The Stargate project, backed by major technology companies, is one of the largest AI infrastructure developments in the United States and is expected to provide the computing capacity required for advanced artificial intelligence systems. However, the latest findings have intensified scrutiny over working conditions as construction continues.
