Under Section 24(3) of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, the Central Government may make rules to provide for the facility of creche, having suitable room or rooms for the use of children under the age of six years of the employees (c), in establishments wherein more than fifty workers are ordinarily employed (b). The proviso allows an establishment to use a common creche run by the Government, a municipality, a private entity or a non-governmental organisation, or a group of establishments to pool resources for one. Building and other construction work employing ten or more workers is an 'establishment' under Section 2(1)(v)(ii). (Formerly s.35 of the Building and Other Construction Workers Act, 1996, which counted more than fifty female building workers.)

Statement a is wrong because the threshold is more than fifty workers and is not limited to women. Statement d is wrong because the age limit is six years, not five. Statement e is wrong because the threshold depends on the number of workers, not the number of children.
