The lack of proper oversight by officials regarding working conditions and worker safety, as well as employer negligence, are major causes of unsafe working conditions in Iran, especially in Kurdistan. This situation has led Iran to be ranked 102nd globally in terms of workplace safety, making it a very unsafe country for workers. Despite these conditions, anti-labor laws and the support of officials for employers have left workers without any right to protest the lack of workplace safety.
