Vu Thu Ha, Deputy Chair of Hanoi People’s Committee, has given the green light to a plan that deploys two inter-agency inspection teams to assess safety standards at 30 companies and construction sites across the city in 2025.

The Hanoi Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs will supervise the process and report to the city government on workplace safety and fire prevention measures for enforcement.
