The Importance of Safety Compliance in Construction Projects
Abbasi further emphasized the importance of adhering to safety principles in high-rise construction projects, stating: "In such projects where activities are conducted at heights, the use of elevators, construction lifts, and related equipment must be done with special care and attention. Any technical defect or negligence can have irreparable consequences and endanger lives."
