Thanks for updating the members. Many states have already created Industrial Safety and Health as a separate wing to take care of the Building & Other Construction Workers (Regulations & Abolition) Act, 1996, and the rules made thereunder. I believe that this will be more meaningful and shall be beneficial to the construction workers, who still fall into the category of unorganized and exploited class.
