Brazil's preparations for the 2014 World Cup suffered a setback Wednesday after a judge asked for the immediate suspension of construction at a host venue sequel to safety concerns.
The Arena de Baixada, a stadium in the city of Curitiba, is scheduled to host four group stage matches next June.
But Judge Lorena Colnago has suspended all work on the arena after declaring that workers were posed to several risks.
An inspection will be held before work can resume after the judge stated that workers were in danger of "being buried, run over, falling from heights and being hit by material, among other serious risks".
The stadium, which is owned by the Atletico Paranaense club, already had its original plans curtailed when the installation of a retractable roof was billed to be postponed until after the tournament.
That decision was made following a visit from FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke, who says all stadiums would have to be ready by December
