Unseen Tragedy: Surge in Occupational Deaths and Diseases Plaguing Iran’s Workers
Recent data from Iran’s Forensic Medicine Organization indicates a concerning rise in workplace fatalities, with at least 1,900 deaths from occupational accidents reported last year, significantly higher than the 455 deaths recorded by the Social Security Organization.
