| (b) List of Notifiable Diseases | (ii) Second Schedule |
| (c) List of industries involving hazardous processes | (iii) Third Schedule |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 has three Schedules. The First Schedule (referred to in section 2(1)(za), the definition of 'hazardous process') lists the industries involving hazardous processes, so (c)-(i). The Second Schedule (referred to in section 18(2)(f)) lists the matters to which the occupational safety and health standards declared by the Central Government under section 18 relate, such as fencing of machinery, employment of adolescents on dangerous machines and the maximum permissible threshold limits of exposure of chemical and toxic substances in factories, so (a)-(ii). The Third Schedule (referred to in section 12(1)) is the List of Notifiable Diseases, so (b)-(iii). (Under the former Factories Act, 1948, the Second Schedule contained the permissible levels of certain chemical substances and the Third Schedule the notifiable diseases.)
Hence (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i) is correct. Each of the other combinations places at least one list in the wrong Schedule.
