According to Kolbarnews, on Monday, February 17, 2025, the worker was injured while breaking a piece of stone when falling rocks from above caused him to lose balance and fall.

Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, covering approximately 16,249 square kilometers, is located in southwestern Iran, with Yasuj as its capital.
This incident once again highlights the importance of workplace safety, especially in mines. Iran ranks poorly in occupational safety compliance globally, underscoring the urgent need for stricter safety measures and government attention.
