Kurdistan Region authorities released comprehensive safety standards on Sunday through the Interior Ministry. Dr. Sami Jalal, the ministry's legal advisor, explained the guide establishes protection requirements for buildings, factories, and projects across the region. Officials developed the standards during a four-year process that reviewed American, European, and British safety protocols.
The guide addresses seven safety categories spanning fire protection, gas systems, fuel stations, and hazardous material transport. Ministry teams translated over 15,000 pages of international standards into Kurdish to create region-specific requirements. The implementation plan involves public education campaigns, formal instructions, specialized inspection teams, and a monitoring database.
Prime Minister Masrour Barzani launched the initiative on Saturday as part of government modernization efforts. The standards represent the first codified safety requirements in Kurdistan Region history.
