In a PSU, we have work contracts, and we subcontract to scaffolding specialists. As per the terms, an additional allowance is paid above the normal wage, and medical fitness is required at all times.
Some provisions exist in the Factories Act. I am not sure if these provisions are in the CL Act or BOCW. Mr. Khola, your comments are awaited.
The provision for height work is in the Minimum Wages Notification of the state government. In West Bengal, it is 20% for work at a height of 30ft or more.
