This was reported by Mehrdad Sitara, the Director of the General Department of Forensic Medical Expertise of the province.

According to him, during this period, 1390 people were injured as a result of work accidents, 90 of them lost their lives.

Independent unions and activists say that the figures provided by the General Department of Forensic Medical Expertise are false.

According to activists the real statistics are several times higher than the official statistics.

Activists point to the lack of enforcement of safety rules in most workplaces, especially in the construction field, and the failure to provide workers with protective clothing and equipment as one of the main reasons for the increase in death rate.
