Construction skeletons are visibly seen on the side of a freshly corridor-stroked Kazanchis. While one of the buildings is being constructed, the other one is being torn down. The taller building has been covered up by a green protective netting at the top to prevent wood materials from falling down. Construction-related fatalities and hazards are becoming a big concern. Surveys conducted in several parts of the country suggest that close to 40pc construction workers suffer occupational injuries.  Two years ago, about 24 workers lost their lives at construction sites in Addis Abeba, while 50 workers faced severe injuries.
