work-related deaths

Despite the alleged use of older machinery, a construction site in an industrial area in İstanbul remained operational despite strong winds, while all other sites halted their activities.

At least 52 agricultural and forestry workers were killed on the job last month, making up more than one fourth of all work-related deaths.

730 workers were killed on the job in the first five months of the year. Construction and transportation industries were the sectors with the highest death toll, while traffic and accidents involving employee services were the most frequent causes of death.

The highest number of work-related deaths were recorded in the construction, accommodation and transportation sectors.
