Workplace Safety

Three workers were injured in moderate to serious condition following an explosion of defense-related waste at the Ecosol factory in Neot Hovav. The Ministry of Labor has launched an investigation and closed the work areas at both the site of the explosion and the supplier factory in the north.

Police, the Ministry of Labor, and the Ministry of Construction and Housing have shut down two construction sites in central Israel. Authorities suspect the contractor continued operations despite a license suspension, a period during which a fatal workplace accident occurred.
