A spokesperson for Amec Foster Wheeler says the heat stress order isn't directly related to the fall.

Lin says a stop work order issued to Amec Foster Wheeler, Borea Construction and Sentry Electrical has been lifted.

Other requirements including a ban on climbing ladders, and obtaining proper documentation have been complied with.
