The Kerala High Court on Wednesday observed that a protocol on security and safety measures at ongoing worksites to avert accidents must be formulated and implemented.
Justice Devan Ramachandran also observed that the engineers and officers in charge of the work will have to be made primarily accountable, and unless penalties which operate as deterrents were imposed, accidents at these sites would remain a continuing saga.
The court made these observations when it was brought to its notice the death of a biker after plunging into a ditch near a bridge construction site at Thripunithura.
