living condition is very poor for them.they are not provided with basic safe requirements. no safe drinking water and self made 'kutcha' house made up with plastic and wooden. majority of time contractor dont provide facilities for bathroom and washing.workers used to go field for bathing and defecation wherever they get water.

The working time and hours are not well regulated. They do not get overtime rates for excess work. They work under very hazardous conditions. The working conditions and the facilities provided at the sites are far from satisfactory. Safety conditions and measurers are hardly met. |

Most of the time in urgencies there are compromises on the safety provided to the Workers , as the focus gets shifted to Project Completion within the deadline.Hence a labourer puts in his Extra to get that extra penny without any view on one's safety & if any Mishap occurs he would be not in a position to claim it . There is also a lack of proper awareness on safety measures from workers side.

A long ques of workers can now be seen every where.The recession or no recession,workers are to be employed.The condition of these workers in construction industries is very alarming.A single worker works more than a statutory requirement but he is never accorded a status of regular employee.if i am not wrong more than 60% of workers are composed of Uriah and Gujarati Mama Workers.They improvise their dwellings where they work.The sagacity and sincerity of these workers help in continuing construction activities.i am therefore of the opinion that Government of India must take initiative to create a common funds for their health,education,permanent dwellings.It is high time construction industries take the call and help the government to move creating the centralized fund.. |

The data base of construction workers should be prepared.The centralized funds should be created and part of their earning with contribution from the contrators should be deposited.The funds should be utilized for health,education , provident funds and loan facilities.It is high time that theses workers should be empowered.Lest the the system treat them as fodders and create a class of untouchables.I therefore strongly support that they should treated as regular workers and should be given PF,DCRG, and pension benefits.

In India there is no institutionalised infrastructure to enhance the skills of construction workers. The abnormal growth in this sector coupled with skill enhancing institutions led to a poor quality workforce in India. Poogenerally skill generally affect the construction worker's destiny from all angle. |

children of the workers used to migrate with them to diffrent sites of work in different cities and state. no one to take care of child while parents are working. child playing here and there and mostly taken care by elder sibling. most of the workers dont get leave with pay for any medical treatment. thats why children of workers are highly volnerable with incomplete immunisation and other unhygienic exposures.due to migration children dont get opportunity for schooling and their education also suffer.

The seeds of discontent may be in the nature of construction work itself. By its very nature, construction work is temporary, project-based and requires the workers to move around. This creates a situation where they cannot get organized as in the case of factory workers. With temporary nature of work, is the temporary nature of their living and other working conditions. The solution may lie in providing appropriate legal structures to protect the rights and interests of construction workers. |

We don't provide appropriate residing facilities to workers , no facilities are provided to their kids . No one cares about their living conditions or their problems.Even there is no facilities provided to female workers anywhere. Except this neither they are paid proper wages by their contractors and nor in time. |

If at construction sites HSSE (Health, Safety, Security & Environmental) Plan implemented stictily, then there is a very significant change will come in the construction industry. It helps not only construction workers, it leads to professionalism in construction industry. |

I belive that productivity and efficiency is a direct result of number of hors worked. Having said this, unlike the west, India belives in at least a 10 hour day to the minimum. Workers face problems of working much more than 10 hours, in a disastrous working conditions with no safety checks. This si the problem that a general construction worker faces. India was never the corporate style which looks toprovide health care/insurace etc to const. workers or any labor for that matter. So no point dealing with that. Mindsets are framed to work hard and Long !!! If developers and contractors react to this fact of stipulting work hours, Indian Const worker would be far a different breed vs the rest of the world.
