They have been asked to come up with uniform norms on physical distancing to be followed by workmenThe Madras High Court on Tuesday directed senior officials from the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH) to pay another visit to Renault Nissan factory and other automobile manufacturing units at Oragadam and come up with uniform norms on physical distancing to be followed by their workmen. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy issued the interim direction on a writ petition filed by the workmen of Renault Nissan against the exemption from COVID-19 lockdown granted by the State government to automobile manufacturing units though they do not fall under the essential services category. However, after the filing of the case, the workmen agreed to work provided the management implements all COVID-19 safety measures as agreed in the presence of a Joint Director of Industrial Safety and Health on June 1. It was the High Court which had directed the DISH to depute an official to mediate between the management and the workmen.More Related News
