Govt plans online registration of buildings, construction establishments
Chennai:
The state labour department has started mapping of inter-state
construction workers and the process would finish by the end of March
2015, according to a labour department official.
The plan is to assess the migrant workers in the state before
enrolling them under state construction workers’ welfare boards, the
official said.
The process of mapping of migrant construction workers also comes in
the wake of Moulivakkam building collapse which resulted in the death
of 61 workers.
Meanwhile, the registration of construction workers in welfare boards
is being simplified. Speaking during a meeting to create awareness
about the Building and Other Construction workers (Regulation of
Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1996 and Rules, state
minister for rural industries and labour P Mohan said that a
Government Order will be passed in next few months simplifying the
renewal of registration.
Besides a mechanism has been worked out where the village
administrative officer verification is not required. “Under this, a
construction worker will have to register with labour officer under
social security scheme in each district to get enrolled under welfare
board,” a labour official said.
Mohan said that renewal of registration of construction worker used to
happen every two years. “Now it will happen once in five years,” he
said.
The minister also stated that action has already been initiated by the
government for registering the building and other construction
establishments through online.
He also said that state government could also look into a proposal to
honour those builders who safeguard the safety, health and welfare of
construction workers in an efficient manner.
He said a Government Order will be issued in extending the welfare
schemes at the cost of Rs 127 crore to construction workers.
Labour and employment secretary M Veerashanmuga Moni, labour
commissioner P Amudha and C Gnanasekara Babu Rao, director of
Industrial Safety and Health also participated in the event.
