New Construction in Israel

I have learned that new buildings in Israel have quite the requirements. There are three requirements that Canada does not have. New buildings must be able to withstand rocket attacks, and they must be able to withstand chemical attacks.  In addition, the third requirement, they must have a safe

space where occupants can retreat, during a prolonged attack, generally the basement, to live in safety.  This must add tremendously to building costs!

Even with these requirements there are lots of new buildings being built.  I include a photo of a new building, and though there may be strict building codes, it would appear,the safety codes are either not existent, or not being enforced. Pictured is a worker, on a stepladder, not tied off, at least 8 meters off the ground. What could possibly go wrong? Good thing there is a great English hospital in Nazareth if the unthinkable happens!
