The same as the workers in the UAE. Only difference is that, these guys might have had better working conditions.

Dear Zue. it is in fact the other way around.it is compulsory for any contractor to have all their workers on site insured. so they do spend a lpt on insurance. but sri lankans in general have very little regard for their own life safety. no matter how much is provided they never care to use any safety measures. this tragedy starts from schools. hpwany schools teach about safety? via DM Android App
