List of all the applicable laws for construction industry with the latest versions?

Hi everyone,

Cite HR has been of great help to me. I have learned a lot of things which have improved my knowledge in different areas apart from HSE. Thanks once again for all your support. I have another requirement as well. Can anyone please provide me with a list of all the applicable laws for the construction industry with the latest versions?

Thanks and regards,
Vamsi Akunuri

Dear Mr. Vamsi,

Please refer to Annexure B of IS 15793-2007 for a better understanding. In accordance with OHSAS and EMS standards, it is essential to identify the relevant section and rule applicable to your activities and demonstrate compliance accordingly.

Dear All,

Thank you, Mr. Mathew, the Plantation Labor Act is not applicable, and all remaining acts are applicable to the construction industry. Mr. Vamsi, please go through the laws section and understand the rules on your own.
