Work inspector inspects on “Marrem Fejza”, egine no violations

This institution has organised an action on the “Murarrem Fejza”, Hospital Latza, Pristina, after receiving information that an object of wind has removed the skeleton and is risking workers' lives. Despite this, reports from the occupants were working as well.

Labour Inspectorate Chief Inspector Basri Ibrahimi, seeking cooperation from all relevant mechanisms and all citizens for the identity of irregularities in the construction sector, has said that this survey with photos has unfortunately not been revealed, which, according to him, this company could have eliminated those irregularities.

“Inspectorat along with you have failed to identify the location where that building is. I strongly believe that that company was inspected even in the campaign that we had two weeks ago and on the basis of the images that I have also seen that even those security barriers have been completely weak and somehow that company has carried out some sort of commitment the inspector has made to you. However, once again it is reflected on the hard work of the Inspectorate and inspectors on the ground”, Ibrahim said.

The inspector is determined to be interested in getting order and order in terms of security and health at work, because unfortunately the number of workers who fell from high buildings is huge.

We're interested in putting order and order in terms of security and health at work, especially external security of objects, because unfortunately we've had seven cases of decline this year. And one of the important elements is the skeleton, or safeguard clauses, in the high construction buildings”, Ibrahim said.

According to him, they are not even fully monitoring the construction and workplace because of the small number of inspectors.

Unfortunately, we're not fully monitoring it because the small number of inspectors limit that, but also with you knowing today, I'm also convinced that that company is inspected a few days ago, but still that the situation on the basis of the images is seen. So, even this behavior of employers has made it even harder for inspectors... We've had the chance that two employers themselves were victims of measures they didn't undertake, he stressed.

Ibrahim added that the responsibility for the deaths of workers in the workplace falls not only on the Labour Inspectorate, for one of the principal causers of death in the workplace, according to him, is also his employer, who does not take all the measures that are determined by the Law for Work Security.

Otherwise, 19 workers in Kosovo died this year at the workplace.
