The fourth schedule gives the ratio between safety officer and the number of employees for each principal contractor

or specialist contractor who has more than one construction site. One might interpret that the contractor has to employ two safety officers if he has two construction sites where he employs

more than 200 persons at each site, besides another safety

officer to be employed as the company employs more than 200 persons. I do not believe such interpretation to be correct and

will only accept that the safety officer-employee ratio is. calculated on a company basis.

Sir, with these remarks, I support the Regulations.
