Which of the following statements relating to the composition of the National Occupational Safety and…

Under section 16(2) of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, the National Board consists of the Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment as Chairperson ex officio, ex officio members including the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), the Director General, Mines Safety and the Director General, Employees’ State Insurance Corporation, the Principal Secretaries dealing with labour matters of four States (by rotation), five representatives each of employers and employees, and the Joint Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment as Member Secretary ex officio (the Board replaced the separate advisory boards under the repealed Acts, such as the Central Advisory Contract Labour Board under s.3 of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970).

The statement that the Labour Commissioners of all the States are ex officio members is not correct, because only the Principal Secretaries (labour) of four States, by rotation, are members. The other three statements correctly describe the composition.
