The message from all parties, authorities and labor unions was of caring which would mean deterrence. One year later and no remembrance. Renounces its responsibility for employee safety, no sanctions are imposed on contractors for safety deficiencies, Construction sites where workers are killed are closed for two days only and are reopened without any flaws and have been repaired The investigation of accidents is very limited, adding that most of the Histadrut and Treasury agreement clauses (see attachment as of November) have not been completed or implemented. Another, and employees continue to pay for their lack of policies and regulations in their lives. "

We hope this work accident will be investigated as required, and those responsible Closing 48 hours as is customary today does not provide and does not achieve the results, in addition to the fact that many sites simply reopen immediately, due to a lack of enforcement. The construction for deficiencies was in the death of a worker, for 30 days, until deep and severe treatment "All the safety hazards. The inscription on the construction sites of this company was on the wall, and still a person paid in his life."
