Section 23(2)(viii) of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 provides for sufficient latrine and urinal accommodation, separately for male, female and transgender employees, with hygiene maintained in them. Separate provision for men and women alone reflects the older Factories Act, 1948, which did not mention transgender employees.
