Program Overview

The Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 and its accompanying Rules of 1998 form the cornerstone of labour welfare and safety legislation for India's construction sector. Yet many organizations operating in construction, real estate, and infrastructure development struggle with compliance — not due to unwillingness, but due to a lack of clear, practical training on what the law requires.

ICLM's BOCW Act 1996 & Rules 1998 Training (Course Code B1105) bridges that gap, offering construction professionals, HR officers, safety managers, contractors, and government officials a structured understanding of the Act's requirements and how to implement them effectively at the project level.
