Phnom Penh (FN), May 24 – Today, Australian ambassador Pablo Kang and minister of land management, urban planning and construction (MLMUPC) Chea Sophara, jointly launched Cambodia’s construction Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Guidelines at the ministry.

“According to MLMUPC data, during the last two decades over 57,000 construction permits have been issued for construction sites across Cambodia. These have involved estimated investments of over USD 66 billion and employment of an average 150,000 workers a day. This rapid pace of construction and urban growth requires the development and implementation of formal standards in construction quality, structural design and workplace safety,” according to the media release seen by Fresh News on Tuesday.
