Under section 18 of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, the occupational…

Section 18(1) of the Code requires the Central Government to declare, by notification, standards on occupational safety and health for workplaces relating to factory, mine, dock work, beedi and cigar, building and other construction work and other establishments, and section 18(2)(f) provides that these standards shall relate to the matters specified in the Second Schedule. Item (3) of the Second Schedule is "employment of adolescents on dangerous machines", listed with matters such as fencing of machinery and work on or near machinery in motion (formerly section 23 of the Factories Act, 1948 dealt directly with the employment of young persons on dangerous machines). Under section 18(3), the Central Government may amend the Second Schedule on the recommendation of the National Board, after notifying its intention to do so for not less than forty-five days.

The First Schedule lists industries involving hazardous processes (section 2(1)(za)), and the Third Schedule lists notifiable diseases (section 12(1)). Since the Second Schedule is a listed option, "None of the given options is correct" is wrong.
