JAMMU KASHMIR BUILDING & OTHER CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WELFARE BOARD, ANANTNAG
A construction worker is a tradesman, labourer (by tradition considered an unskilled tradesman),
or professional employed in the physical construction of the built environment and its infrastructure.
The term construction worker is a generic term and most construction workers are primarily described by the type of work they
perform (their trade). Construction workers may also be colloquially be referred to as "hard hat workers"
or "hard hats", as they often wear hardhats for safety. Construction workers often work under a construction foreman.
While most construction workers learn on the job as an informal apprentice to an experienced tradesman, formal apprenticeship
programs are common, particularly in developed countries with trade unions.
The division of labor of construction encompasses a diverse range of skilled and manual labor.
Among the most common construction trades are those of carpenter, electrician, heavy equipment operator, ironworker, laborer, mason,
plasterer, plumber, pipefitter, sheet metal worker, steel fixer (also known as a "rodbuster"), and welder.
Construction safety is very important to ensure a safe environment for the workers. All construction workers
need to be educated on safety at each construction site to minimize injury.
Building construction is the process of adding structure to real property or construction of buildings. The majority of
building construction jobs are small renovations, such as addition of a room, or renovation of a bathroom. Often, the owner
of the property acts as laborer, paymaster, and design team for the entire project. Although building construction
projects typically include various common elements, such as design, financial, estimating and legal considerations,
many projects of varying sizes reach undesirable end results, such as structural collapse, cost overruns, and/or
litigation. For this reason, those with experience in the field make detailed plans and maintain careful oversight
during the project to ensure a positive outcome.
The Jammu Kashmir Building & Other Construction Workers Welfare Board has introduced many beneficial schemes for such construction workers so that they can be made to
educate their children and can be benefited in many other ways.
