There are about 8.5 million workers employed in the construction activities in India. The construction workers constitute a major portion of the unorganized labour and characterized by their casual nature of employment, temporary relationship with the employer, prolonged and uncertain working hours, lack of safety and health measures, and inadequacy of basic amenities and welfare facilities. There are many legislation providing safeguards for the contract workers in India. The construction safety has been made legally enforceable after the enactment of The Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 and Central Rules 1998. This paper details on various statutory provisions for construction safety in India with specific reference to the BOCW Act, Central Rules and State Rules.
