Earlier this month, we published a report that analyses 850 safety violations imposed on construction sites in the first half of 2019. The report reviews the leading construction companies that have a notorious record of neglecting workers’ safety. At the top of the list is "Assum," with 14 orders in the first half of the year. "Neot Shamir S." follows its footsteps with 11 safety orders. Third, with 9 safety orders, is "A.D. Asher Zaguri Construction Works." The companies "Mahamid Taufik - Building and Development Company", "Itzhak Stern & Co." and "Ashtrom Group" also warrant “honorable mention.” The report details the violations that led to the orders and the steps needed to better enforce safety regulations and therefore make it mandatory for companies to uphold safety standards. To the full report (Hebrew).

Working safely in agriculture
 

Safe and secure work is not something that disadvantaged workers can take for granted. They cannot always say "no." The project, led by KLO in partnership with the National Insurance Institute's "Manof" fund, seeks to provide agricultural workers with information on how to stay safe at work in their own languages: Thai, Arabic, English and Hebrew. The main theme is their right to be safe at work, ensuring that they have the knowledge and language to demand their rights. As part of the project we conduct workshops, including one held just a week ago with Palestinian workers.
