The Building and Other Construction Workers Act (BOCW Act) is a social welfare legislation in India. It regulates the employment and conditions of service of construction workers, providing them with social security benefits. Under the BOCW Act, workers are required to register themselves, which can be done online through the state's Labour Department website. Registered workers receive benefits like healthcare, housing, education, and legal protection. The Act aims to ensure the well-being and safety of construction workers and improve their overall quality of life.
