Which of the following is true relating to the constitution of the State Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Board, including the appointment of its Chairperson, under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under section 17(1) of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, the State Government constitutes the State Occupational Safety and Health Advisory Board to advise it on matters arising out of the administration of the Code, and under section 17(2) the constitution, procedure and other matters relating to the State Advisory Board are such as may be prescribed by the State Government (formerly s.4 of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 provided for a State Advisory Contract Labour Board with a Chairman appointed by the State Government).

The Code does not itself name the State Labour Commissioner or the State Labour Minister as Chairperson, and the Central Government does not prescribe the State Board's constitution; section 16 lays down the composition only of the National Board, chaired by the Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment.
