Safety rules are being breached
I have seen workers in harnesses installing billboards or
putting stickers on high-rises. But when I looked closely, I noticed that most
of them did not have adequate safety gear. This has happened on more than two
occasions.
Once, I was frightened for a group of men who were working
on a seven-storey building without any protective gear whatsoever. I am sure
that these are not stray cases. People will continue to flout the safety rules
if such lapses are not reported.
At the same time, strict enforcement of rules is necessary.
It’s mostly smaller companies that ignore the rules as they
engage contract or part-time workers.
They need to be monitored all the time.
