Odisha's Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has issued directives to builders, emphasising the paramount importance of ensuring the safety and security of workers involved in construction activities. The mandate underscores RERA's commitment to promoting workplace well-being and safeguarding the interests of labourers engaged in the real estate sector.

The directive from Odisha RERA highlights the need for builders to adhere strictly to safety protocols and provide necessary safety equipment and training to workers. Additionally, builders are tasked with implementing measures to prevent accidents and mitigate occupational hazards at construction sites across the state.

This move by Odisha RERA aligns with broader efforts to enhance worker welfare standards in the real estate industry, ensuring that labourers are afforded a safe and secure working environment. By prioritising worker safety, RERA aims to foster a culture of accountability and responsibility among developers and promote sustainable practices in the construction sector.

As builders in Odisha gear up to comply with the directives issued by RERA, stakeholders in the real estate ecosystem will closely monitor the implementation of safety measures and their impact on ensuring the well-being of workers. The initiative reflects Odisha RERA's proactive approach to addressing crucial issues related to labour rights and occupational safety in the construction industry.

Odisha RERA's directive to builders underscores the authority's commitment to upholding labour welfare standards and promoting a culture of safety and security in construction activities. Through concerted efforts and stringent enforcement, RERA aims to create safer working environments for construction workers and contribute to the overall development of the real estate sector in Odisha.
