Despite, and to some extent due to, its growth and success, more than a thousand workers meet with serious accidents just in the Gurgaon–Manesar belt every year. Most of these accidents lead to permanent disabilities, followed by either a loss of or signi cant deterioration in the employment of such injured workers. Unsurprisingly, while laws regarding work place safety, post-accident care and compensation do exist, there is an absence of strong and effective institutional mechanisms to support their implementation. This had led to unnecessarily hazardous working conditions, a low level of safety consciousness and training and inadequate post-accident treatment, care, compensation and rehabilitation. Injured workers are therefore often left with long term psychological and physical damage, with it consequent nancial implications.
