At least 59 workers fell off buildings under construction and died last year. Director of the Service for Control and Supervision of Labor Legislation Cholponkul Madyarov said at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on social policy.
According to him, 178 accidents were registered in 2023 due to non-compliance with technical safety rules during the construction of multi-storey buildings.
