At least 1,559 people have died from work-related accidents in the past nine months in Iran, according to a report released by the Forensic Research Center.
The head of the center, Mahmoud Khodadoost, identified falls from heights, blunt force trauma, and electrocution as the leading causes of death.
The report also highlighted a significant regional disparity in work-related deaths.
Tehran province recorded the highest number of casualties, with 360 deaths.
Khodadoost raised further concern by pointing to an increase in work accident deaths during December.
