Cuddalore, 23 June 2008 One sub contract worker was injured in an accident that took place inside the plant construction site of Chemplast Sanmar PVC plant in Cuddalore. According to the sources, eighteen year old K. Parasuraman (son of Krishnamurthy), a resident of nearby Poondiankuppam village, sustained major injuries when he fell off from a temporary roof erected to carry on the the electrical jobs inside the construction site. Parsuraman was a sub contract worker who has been working for contractor Murali who in turn has been awarded the contract of erecting electrical lines in the site by Power Tech.
So far no information about the accident has been registered with the Inspector of Factories in Cuddalore, which is mandatory under the law. This is not the first time an accident has taken place within the construction site of Chemplast Sanmar, and neither is the first time the unit has been caught violating the law by not reporting such accidents to the Factories Inspectorate.
