Correct answer A

The definition of principal employer appears in section 2(1)(zz) of the OSH Code, 2020 (formerly section 2(1)(g) of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970). Where contract labour is employed or engaged, it identifies the responsible person according to the establishment: the head of a Government or local authority office or department (or a specified officer), the owner or occupier of a factory (or the person named as its manager), the owner or agent of a mine, or, in any other establishment, any person responsible for its supervision and control. The other listed clauses define contractor (2(1)(n)), contract labour (2(1)(m)) and employer (2(1)(u)).
