According to reports received by HANA Human Rights Organization, on the afternoon of Saturday, June 20, 2026, a worker identified as Mohammad Bahrami, from Javanrud, died after falling from a height.
According to reports received, the worker was operating a construction lift when he fell, sustaining severe injuries that resulted in his death.
This incident once again highlights the ongoing failure to ensure workplace safety and the continued violation of workers’ rights. The lack of standard safety equipment, the absence of effective oversight in enforcing technical safety regulations, and the disregard for safety requirements in work environments are among the leading causes of fatal accidents among workers.
The recurrence of such incidents comes despite the fact that ensuring workplace safety and protecting the life and health of the workforce are among the core responsibilities of employers and the institutions tasked with oversight. The repetition of these events reflects weak enforcement of safety regulations and the failure of oversight mechanisms to guarantee workers’ right to safe and standard working conditions.
