6 orders to close construction sites and 11 safety orders: an extensive enforcement operation by Ministry of Labor inspectors in the Beit Shemesh area

A few days ago the Safety Administration carried out a unique operation in Beit Shemesh and Ramat Beit Shemesh on construction sites. Investigators of the administration were also assigned to the expanded team of inspectors in order to prepare indictments when necessary.

During the visits, many defects were noted such as a defect in electricity, defects in fencing, many defects in the performance of work at height, and defects in the employment of minors at construction sites.

9 inspectors participated in the operation and 17 visits were made, 11 safety orders were registered, 6 of which were site closure orders, and several sanctions were also registered.

The administration says that it will continue even more vigorously in this activity to eradicate accidents and raise the level of safety and health of workers in Israel.
