c. Lack of social security: It is the duty of the contractor concerned and the main employer of the site to provide its employees with social security in terms of employment insurance, first aid facilities, toilets, availability of drinking water, accident benefits, canteens and pensions, etc. But most construction workers are far from all these facilities. 13. Identity cards.- 1. The Council shall issue to each beneficiary an identification card on which his photograph is duly affixed and which leaves sufficient space to record the details of the building or other construction work carried out. (iii) in respect of any other establishment employing construction workers, either directly or through a contractor, the government of the State in which such other establishment is situated; Contractors know nothing about the safety of their workers on the jobsite. They pay little attention to training or educating them about the risk associated with the work they undertake. Most workers from uneducated backgrounds are unaware of health risks and problems; The government has enacted laws and regulations to guarantee workers` rights and ensure that contractors and landlords act accordingly. These laws help workers protect themselves from accidents.
On Indian construction sites, the contractor is solely responsible for the safety of the workers, as workers must work under his orders and manage their safety and take care of high-risk tasks. Contractors are required to provide the owner with a safety manual created and designed for installation. The contractor must also have a safety manual. Workers generally have no pedagogical knowledge and have received almost no training to improve their professional skills so that they can learn how to prevent risks. Workers do not pay attention to their safety because they are not aware of the severity of the damage that can be caused. Workers who are aware of safety issues and who have received training should change their perception of safety issues and encourage other participants to ensure safety on site. Employers are required to comply with government rules and regulations regarding the safety of their workers. d. Contractors are paid less than workers with the same skills as those employed in factories. On most construction sites, workers are provided by the contractor on a commission basis, in violation of compliance obligations. Construction workers who work on most construction sites do not receive overtime pay. Thus, the problem of low wages is an unresolved and important problem in the construction industry.

This bill complements the Building and Other Construction Workers Bill 1996 (Employment and Working Conditions Ordinance), which is to be introduced and revised at the same time. for the purpose of collecting and levying a reduction on construction costs paid to employers to increase the resources of the social welfare committees for construction and other construction workers established by provincial governments under the Employment and Employment Conditions Ordinance 1955 (Regulation No. 14 of 1995) A regulation, namely the Construction Workers Welfare Ordinance, 1995 (Decree No. 15 of 1995), was issued by the President on 3 November. 1995.

A bill, the Building and Other Construction Workers` Welfare Cess Bill, 1955, was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 1 December 1995 to replace this regulation with an Act of Parliament. As the Bill could not be considered and passed by the Lok Sabha in the 1995 Winter Session and the 1996 Budget Session, the Construction Workers Welfare Ordinance 1996 and the Second Construction and Other Construction Workers Welfare Ordinance 1996 were enacted from 5 to January 1996 and on 27 March respectively. 1996 with the aim of making legal protection more effective. With the dissolution of the tenth Lok Sabha, the Building and Other Construction Workers` Welfare Cess Bill of 1995 became obsolete.
