Minister of Labor Yoav Ben-Tzur announced today during a discussion that the Ministry of Labor is promoting 6 laws and regulations that will bring about a change in the safety culture in Israel. This is in addition to increasing the number of safety inspectors.
"We are changing a policy that was decided 40 years ago in the construction industry, decisions that are outdated and irrelevant to the acceleration of construction that exists today in Israel," says Ben-Zuri. For the first time, the circle of authority responsible for the safety of workers also includes developers, engineers, project managers.
