Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, welfare provisions are in Chapter VI and hours of work in Chapter VII, in this order: Welfare facilities in the establishment, etc. (Section 24, B); Daily and weekly working hours, leave, etc. (Section 25, E); Extra wages for overtime (Section 27, C); Night shifts (Section 28, D); and Annual leave with wages, etc. (Section 32, A). The correct order is therefore B, E, C, D, A. These provisions apply to building and other construction work as well, because Section 143 of the Code repealed the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996, whose Chapter VI formerly dealt with these matters. The other sequences place working hours or welfare facilities in the wrong position, or put annual leave before night shifts.
