Which of the provision of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 mandates for the maintenance of register or other records of workers, including contract labour, by the employer of an establishment?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 33 of the OSH Code, 2020 (formerly section 29 of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970) requires the employer of an establishment to maintain registers, electronically or otherwise, containing prescribed particulars of workers, including work performed, hours of work, rest days, wages paid, leave and overtime. It also requires the employer to display notices at the work place, issue wage slips and file returns with the Inspector-cum-Facilitator. Since 'employer' under section 2(1)(u) includes a contractor, the duty reaches contractors as well. Section 46 deals with appointment of the designated licensing authority, section 34 with Inspector-cum-Facilitators and section 24 with welfare facilities.
