Dear Madan,
BOCW Act is regulate the employment and condition of service of buildings and other construction workers and to provide for their safety, health and welfare measures and for other matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. This Act may be called the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996.
It applies to every establishment which employs, or had employed on any day of the preceding twelve months, ten or more buildings workers in any building or other construction work. The buildings workers employed in different relays in a day either by the employer or the contractor shall be taken into account in computing the number of buildings workers employed in the establishment.
