Construction work at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's Fab 22 site in Kaohsiung has been suspended after a workplace accident that left four workers dead.
The accident occured on Tuesday.
The four workers reportedly fell from an unspecified height when a steel structure collapsed during a hoisting and installation operation.
The Southern Taiwan Science Park Bureau says a preliminary assessment shows the accident could have been caused by old bolts that broke, but the exact cause of the accident remains investigation.
TSMC said steel structure work at the Kaohsiung site and its new fab construction sites across Taiwan had been voluntarily suspended.
The bureau says work can only resume after the contractor responsible submits an improvement plan that passes review.
