The purpose of this National Policy is to establish a preventive safety and health
culture in the country through elimination of the incidents of work related injuries,
diseases, fatalities, disasters and to enhance the well being of employees in all the
sectors of economic activity in the country.
-1-
The salient features of the Policy are as below:-
• It recognizes safe and healthy working environment as a fundamental
human right.
• It aims at enhancing the well-being of the employees and the society at
large by eliminating work related injuries, diseases, etc.
• It enumerates the goals to be achieved and brings into focus the
objective of continuous reduction in the incidence of work related
injurious and diseases.
There are four main legislations that cover Occupational Safety and Health at
workplace. (i) The Factories Act, 1948 , covering factories wherein the enforcement of
safety at workplace is by the Chief Inspector of Factories in the respective states, (ii)
The Mines Act, 1952 and Mines Rules, 1955 for mining industry where the
enforcement is by the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) under Ministry of
Labour & Employment , Government of India, (iii) The Dock Workers (Safety, Health
and Welfare) Act, 1986 followed by notification of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health
and Welfare) Regulations, 1990 dealing with the major ports of India and the
enforcement is by the Directorate General of Factory Advice Service &Labour
Institutes (DGFASLI), under Ministry of Labour & Employment , Government of India,
and (iv) The Building & Other Construction Workers (Regulations of Employment and
Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 , covering construction workers at construction sites
wherein the enforcement is by the Directorate General Labour Welfare in the central
sphere and by the Labour Commissioners/Factory Inspectorates in the States/UTs.

1.3.2 Dock Workers (Safety, Health & Welfare) Act, 1986 & The Dock Workers
(Safety, Health & Welfare) Regulations, 1990
Considering the hazardous nature of dock work, the ILO as early as in 1929 adopted an
international convention to protect dock workers against accidents. This convention
was revised in 1932. The history of safety legislation of dock workers in India dates
back to 1934 where the Indian Dock Labourers Act, 1934 was enacted to give effect to
this ILO Convention viz., "Protection Against Accidents (Dockers) Convention
(Revised), 1932 (No.32)". The main objective of the Act was to make the working
places and working procedures safe. Due to the Second World War, the Indian Dock
Labourers Regulation, 1948 framed under the Act could be brought into force in the
year 1948 only. The Act and the Regulations were limited in scope as they covered
only safety aspects and that too for workers employed on board and alongside the
ships and thus a large number of workers engaged in other areas of the ports such as
transit sheds, warehouses, yards etc., were not covered. As the necessity arose to
include health and welfare provisions, the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare))
Scheme, 1961 was framed under the Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) Act,
1948 to cover the rest of the workers working elsewhere in the port premises.
In order to ratify the ILO Conventions 152 and also to implement the recommendation
of the National Commission on Labour, a unified Act, viz., the Dock Workers (Safety,
Health and Welfare) Act, 1986 was enacted and the detailed Dock Workers (Safety,
Health and Welfare) Regulations were framed in 1990. The enforcement of the Act
and the Regulations is carried out by the Inspectorates Dock Safety functioning in all
the major ports under the administrative control of the Director General, DGFASLI,
Ministry of Labour, Government of India. The Director General, DGFASLI as Chief
Inspector of Dock Safety is also responsible for enforcement of the Manufacture,
Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989 framed under the
Environment (Protection) Act 1996 in the Major Ports.
The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations, 1990 was framed under
the Section 20 of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Act, 1986.
Regulations 9 to 94 in Part III of the Dock Workers(Safety, Health and
Welfare)Regulations, 1990 are covering safety aspects in the working places,
warehouses and storage places, decks and Hatch ways etc., Lifting Appliances and
Gear, Transport Equipment and Operations, Handling of Cargo, Handling of Dangerous
Goods, Freight Container Terminals, Miscellaneous. Regulations 95 to 99 in Part IV of
-4-
the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations, 1990 are covering health
aspects like cleanliness, drinking water, latrines and urinals, spittoons, ventilation and
temperature in dock area including reefer holds on ships. Regulations 100 to 109 in
Part V of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare)Regulations, 1990 are
covering welfare facilities like washing facilities, First-Aid boxes, ambulance room,
ambulance carriage, stretchers, shelters or rest rooms and lunch rooms, canteens,
medical examination of dock workers, notices, welfare officers.
1.3.3 The Mines Act, 1952 and other laws pertaining to Mines
In earlier years when mining activities were modest in scale, safety problems too were
simple. With the progress in exploitation of minerals, safety of persons employed
became a matter of concern. In 1895, the Government of India initiated steps to frame
legislative measures for safety of workmen. In 1897 first major disaster in mining hit
the Kolar Goldfields killing 52 persons, to be soon followed by the Khost Coal Mine
disaster in Baluchistan (now in Pakistan) killing 47 persons. The disaster hastened the
process of formulation of safety laws and the first Mines Act was enacted in 1901. With
further experience, this Act was superseded by the Indian Mines Act, 1923, which was
again replaced by the present Mines Act, 1952 with amendments in 1959. On 27 Dec
1975 the Chasnala mining disaster occurred in a coal mine in Chasnala near Dhanbad
in the Indian state of Bihar now called Jharkhand, when an explosion in the mine
followed by flooding of water killed 372 miners. The roof of coal caved in resulting in
7 million imperial gallons (32,000 m3) of water per minute flooding into the mine. The
miners were trapped under a mountain of debris and drowned when the water surged
into the mine. The Indian Iron and Steel Company (IISCO), which owned the mine, said
it conformed to international standards. A Hindi film KaalaPathar depicting the
tragedy was also produced. Major changes were incorporated in this Act in 1983. The
Mines Act, 1952 applies to mines of all minerals within the country except the State of
Sikkim, including the offshore mines within the limits of territorial water. For
administering the provisions of the Indian Mines Act, 1901, the Government of India
set up a "Bureau of Mines Inspection" on the 7th January 1902 with headquarters at
Calcutta. The name of the organisation was changed to Department of Mines in 1904
and its headquarters shifted to Dhanbad in 1908. On 1.1.1960, the organization was
renamed as "Office of the Chief Inspector of Mines". Since 1.5.1967, the office has been
re-designated as Directorate-General of Mines Safety (DGMS in short).
The Mines Act, 1952 deals with the matters relating to safety, health and welfare of
persons employed in mines including oil mines. The Act specifies the provisions for
regulating employment of persons, leave with wages, duties and responsibilities of
owner, agent and manager, drinking water, First-Aid and rest shelters, medical
examinations and occupational health surveys, notice of accidents and occupational
diseases in addition to framing of rules, regulations and byelaws on specific subjects
including the penalty provisions for violations of this Act.

The Workmen’s Compensation Act of 1923 is an old legislation, which was in 2009
amended to Employees’ Compensation Act of 1923 to provide for the payment by
- 12 -
certain class of Employers to their employees compensation for injury by accident.
This covers all Employees including Contract Workmen that meet with an Accident or
are affected by Occupational Disease. The Act defines “Disablement” meaning any
loss of capacity to work or movewhich may result in loss or reduction of earning
capacity. Disability as defined in the Act may be Total {Section 2.1(g)}, Partial {Section
2.1(l)}, Temporary or Permanent. The Act specifies the compensation payable to the
employee for the type of permanent disablement dependent on the salary and age o
the employee. The Act also provides compensation to be paid to the dependents of the
employee that meets with a fatal accident. The Act provides for each State Government
to appoint a Commissioner to decide on any disputes on the amount of compensation
payable by the employer to the employee.
The objective of the Act is to provide for certain benefits to employees in case of
sickness, maternity and ‘employment injury’ and to make provision for certain other
matters in relation thereto. It is applicable to all factories (including factories
belonging to the Government) other than seasonal factories. However, the Act is not
applicable to a factory or establishment belonging to or under the control of the
Government whose employees are otherwise in receipt of benefits substantially
similar or superior to the benefits provided under this Act.
The provisions of the Act enforced both by the Central and the state governments. In
respect of establishments under the control of the Central Government or a railway
administration or a major port or a mine or oil-field, the Act is enforced by the Central
Government, and in all other cases, the State Government.
An insured person or (where such medical benefit is extended to his family) a member
of his family whose condition requires medical treatment and attendance are entitled
to receive medical benefit. Such medical benefit may be given either in the form of out-
patient treatment and attendance in a hospital or dispensary, clinic or other institution
or by visits to the home of the insured person or treatment as in-patient in a hospital
or other institution. The cost of medical treatment is shared by the Corporation and
the state government.
The Corporation can set up with the approval of the State Government establish and
maintain in State such hospitals, dispensaries and other medical and surgical services
as it may think fit for the benefit of insured persons and (where such medical benefit is
extended to their families) their families. The Corporation may also enter into
agreement with any local authority, private body or individual in regard to the
- 13 -
provision of medical treatment and attendance for insured persons and (where such
medical benefit is extended to their families) their families, in any area and sharing the
cost thereof.
The Corporation may also enter into agreement with any local authority, local body or
private body for commissioning and running Employees’ State Insurance hospitals
through third party participation for providing medical treatment and attendance to
insured persons and where such medical benefit has been extended to their families,
to their families.
Long back in 1923, the Government enacted the Workmen’s Compensation Act,
providing some social security to the industrial workers. However the benefits under
the Workmen’s Compensation Act was, however limited to compensation for injury
caused by accident and the compensation was to be borne by the employer. The
Government came forward with The Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 and this
introduced a scheme of social insurance to the industrial workers. This Act applies, in
the first instance to all factories other than seasonal factories. However the
appropriate Government may extend the provisions of this Act or any of them to any
other industrial, commercial or agricultural establishment.
The Act applies to every person employed directly or indirectly including contract
workers in connection with the work of a factory or establishment andwhose monthly
wage is less than Rs 21,000/-. The employee contributes 1.75% of his / her monthly
wage and the employer contributes 4.75% of the monthly wage of the employee toThe
Employees State Insurance Corporation. Under the Act the covered employee is
eligible for Sickness Benefit, Accident Benefit, Disablement Benefit, Dependents
Benefit, Maternity Benefit and Funeral Benefit. Under Section 73 of the Act termination
of a person during period of receipt of sickness benefit is prohibited.

Protection against specific risks
Out of these thirteen conventions India has ratified only one convention (i.e. a
convention dealing with protection against a specific risk i.e. C 115) , however there
are specific legislations dealing with OSH which have been explained in the earlier
paragraphs, so as to facilitate ensuring safety at the workplace.
- 16 -
2. Authority or Body Responsible for OSH
As most of the legislation on safety and health are Central Government legislations, the
Ministry performs the important function of piloting the bills through Parliament after
inter-ministerial consultations and consultations with the State Governments and with
representative organizations of employers and employees.
The occupational safety and health is one of the subjects allotted to Ministry of
Labour& Employment (MoL&E), under the Government of India, allocation of Business
Rules.
To deal with the subject relating to OSH in the case of Factories, the same is
implemented by the State Governments under the Chief Inspector of Factories. In case
of Mining, the implementation is under the Directorate General of Mine Safety (DGMS).
As for Port Sector (i.e. twelve major ports) the implementation is under the
Directorate General of Factory Advisory Services (DGFASLI). A separate division on
industrial safety and health exists in the MoL&E. The Industrial Safety and Health
division of the Ministry discharges the overall functions relating to policy decisions
and laying down guidelines for countrywide adoption in the above sectors.
The Ministry also carries out liaison with the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
and other countries. The Ministry undertakes co-ordination at the national level by
periodically convening the State Labour Ministers Conference and State Labour
Secretaries Conference, in which policy matters and issues on uniformity in labour
laws are discussed. Directorate General Factory Advice Service & Labour Institutes
(DGFASLI) and Directorate General of Mine Safety (DGMS) assist the Ministry in the
technical aspects of occupational safety and health in the above sectors.
Chief Inspector of Factories (CIFs)/ Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH)
of respective State Governments/UTs are dealing with enforcement of the Factories
Act, 1948 and the State Factories Rules framed there under for the factories registered
under the said Act in the aspect of occupational safety and health in the manufacturing
sector.
- 17 -
Director General Labour Welfare (DGLW) (Labour welfare organization) is dealing the
matters concerning policy and legislation related to workers in the un organizedsector
and administration of welfare funds for specified categories of workers through nine
regions headed by welfare commissioner who implement the welfare schemes made
under the welfare funds. DGLW also deals with RasthriyaSwasthyaBimaYojana (RSBY).
DGLW enforces the various Labour laws and rules made there under in the central
sphere including the Building and other Workers (Conditions of Service and
Regulation of Employment) Act, 1996 for the workers working in the construction
sector.
The first meeting of the Indian Labour Conference (then called Tripartite National
Labour Conference) was held in 1942 and so far a total of 46 Sessions have been held.
The agenda of the ILC is finalised by the Standing Labour Committee which is again a
tripartite body after detailed discussions.
The Conference of the 48th Session of the Standing Labour Committee (SLC) was held
on 11 May 2017 under the Chairmanship of Shri Bandaru Dattatreya, the Minister of
State (IC) for Labour & Employment. Shri Dattatreya informed the delegates that the
welfare of the workers, including their health is very important and the Ministry has
been working tirelessly in this direction through its own and also through its
Organizations like Employees Provident Fund Organization and Employees State
Insurance Corporation. Shri Dattatreya also stressed upon educating the workers on
various initiatives/measures taken for their welfare, particularly the legislative
measures.
OSH is part of various items which are taken up by the SLC for discussion at the ILC,
hence there is no separate National Tripartite OSH Committee.
As per the provisions contained under Section 9 of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health
and Welfare) Act, 1986, an Advisory Committee is to advice upon such matters arising
out of the administration of the said Act and is constituted by Notification. As per the
provision of the Act the Advisory Committee consist of an equal number of members
representing.
- 18 -
(i) the appropriate Government
The Chairman of the Advisory Committee is the Chief Inspector of Dock Safety,
DGFASLI. The tenure of each Advisory Committee is of three years.
The Advisory Committee meetings have played an important role and many decisions
have resulted in the improvement of OSH of Dock Workers. Some of the important
points discussed and decision taken during earlier meetings:
The Committee also deliberate on issues like dust control measures, road safety
aspects, upgrading the training facilities, providing canteen facilities to private
workers etc. The thirteenth annual meeting was held in December 2016.
The Conference on Safety in Mines is a tripartite forum at the national level in which
the employers' representatives, the trade unions' representatives, the Government
represented by Ministry of Labour& Employment, DGMS, various administrative
ministries/ departments and State Governments and associated institutions,
professional bodies, service associations, etc. take part. They review the status of
safety in mines and the adequacy of existing measures in a spirit of mutual
cooperation. The conference also suggests measures for further improvement in
safety, welfare and health of mine workers. The first Conference was held in the year
1958 and the eleventh conference was held on 4th & 5th July, 2013 at New Delhi during
- 19 -
which three major issues (i) Small Scale Mining, (ii) Safety, health & welfare of
Contractual workers (iii) Surface & underground transportation machinery were
deliberated in detail. A number of recommendations of these conferences have been
given statutory backing and most of the others have been absorbed in management
practices and policies.The conclusions and recommendations drawn during the
conference have already been circulated to the mining industries for compliance.
The DGFASLI coordinates with the State Factory Inspectorates / Directorates for the
enforcement of the provisions under the Factories Act, 1948. However, it is the
enforcing agency to enforce the provisions under the Dock Workers (Safety, Health &
Welfare) Act, 1986 and the Regulations framed there under in all major ports in India
through Inspectorates of Dock Safety (IDS).
The DGFASLI organization comprises of Head Quarters and Central Labour Institute at
Mumbai, Regional Labour Institute at Kanpur, Kolkata, Chennai and Faridabad. A new
Regional Labour Institute is being set up in Shillong to cater to the specific needs of the
north-eastern part of the country in the field of occupational safety and health as part
of the Government of India’s initiative to bring this part of the country into the
mainstream.
There were some mile stone events that expanded the role and scope of activities of
DGFASLI. These were
(i) The Bhopal Gas tragedy took place in the year 1984 which led to a
landmark amendment in the Factories Act, 1948 in the year 1987, by
introducing the definition of “hazardous process” and insertion of a
complete chapter on “provisions related to hazardous process industries”.
The Major Accident Hazards Control Advisory (MAHCA) Division was
added to the CLI in 1987 as one of the outputs of the ILO project
"Establishment and Initial Operation of Major Accident Hazards Control
System". The project was executed by the DGFASLI in close collaboration
- 20 -
with Factory Inspectorates of the various States and Union Territories.
Although the project was completed in December, 1990, the Division
continues to provide important service for the control of major accident
hazards in the country.
(ii) Notification of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Act, 1986
followed by notification of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare)
Regulations, 1990 and enforcement given to Director General, DGFASLI as
ex-officio Chief Inspector of Dock Safety in the major ports of the country.
(iii) In the year 1986, DGFASLI initiated the drafting of Building and other
Construction workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of
Service) Act, 1996 and the same was introduced and passed by the
Parliament. The enforcement of the Act is being done by the office of the
Chief Labour Commissioner.
(iv) Also in 1987 CLI added the Major Accident Hazard Control Advisory
(MAHCA) Division, as one of the outputs of the ILO project “Establishment
and Initial Operation of Major Accident Hazard Control System”. The
project was executed by DGFASLI in close collaboration with the Chief
Inspector of Factories/Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH)
of various states and union territories. This project was completed in
December 1990; however the Division continues to provide service for
control of major accident hazards in the country.
Directorate General of Mines Safety, DGMS in short, is the Regulatory Agency under
the Ministry of labour and employment, Government of India in matters pertaining to
occupational safety, health and welfare of persons employed in mines (Coal,
Metalliferous and oil-mines).
Under the Constitution of India, safety, welfare and health of workers employed in
mines are the concern of the Central Government (Entry 55-Union List-Article 246).
The objective is regulated by the Mines Act, 1952 and the Rules and Regulations
framed there under. These are administered by the Directorate-General of Mines
Safety (DGMS), under the Union Ministry of Labour & Employment. Apart from
administering the Mines Act and the subordinate legislation there under, DGMS also
administers a few other allied legislation, including the Indian Electricity Act.
- 21 -
DGMS carries out the mandates of the Mine Act at all mining and mineral processing
operations in the India, regardless of size, number of employees, commodity mined, or
method of extraction.
The field organisation has a two-tier network of field offices. The entire country is
divided into eight zones, each under the charge of a Deputy Director-General of Mines
Safety. There are three to four Regional offices under each zonal office. Each Region is
under the charge of a Director of Mines Safety. There are in all 29 such Regional Offices.
Sub-regional offices have been set up in important areas of concentrated mining
activities away from Regional office. There are three such sub-regional offices, each
under the charge of a Deputy Director of Mines Safety. Each Zone, besides having in-
specting officers of mining disciplines has officers in electrical & mechanical
engineering and occupational health disciplines.
Role of DGMS
1. Inspection of mines.
2. Investigation into:
a) Accidents
In quite many cases the employer – employee relationship is fuzzy and these workers
do not fall within the ambit of the four main labour legislations dealing with
occupational health and safety {i.e. The Factories Act, 1948, The Mines Act, 1952 and
Mines Rules, 1955, The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Act, 1986 followed
by notification of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations, 1990
and The Building & Other Construction Workers (Regulations of Employment and
Conditions of Service) Act, 1996} under the Ministry of Labour.
There is a Role for the Ministries under Agriculture, Rural Development, Urban

3. Mechanisms for Ensuring Compliance Including the
System of Inspection
3.1 National and State level OSH Supervision and Inspection Systems
At the National Level OSH advisory service is undertaken by Directorate General of
Factory Advice Service & Labour Institutes (DGFASLI), under Ministry of Labour &
Employment, Government of India with reference to the factories & ports in the
country. The DGFASLI is an attached office of the Ministry of Labour & Employment,
Government of India and serves as a technical arm to assist the Ministry in formulating
national policies on occupational safety and health in factories and docks. It also
advises factories on various problems concerning safety, health, efficiency and well -
being of the persons at work places.OSH supervision and inspection of the twelve
major ports the same is carried out by Directorate General of Factory Advice Service &
Labour Institutes (DGFASLI).
At the state level the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health / Chief Inspector of
Factories in each of the States in India is the enforcement agency for OSH safety and
inspection systems in the factories. The state Governments is presently adopting
random inspection with risk based inspection systems for non-hazardous industries.
Priority Inspection in MAH (Major Accident Hazard) factories is undertaken by a team
of Officers carrying out inspection at hazardous/dangerous operations in factories.
Similarly Director General of Mine Safety (DGMS) which is under Ministry of Labour &
Employment, Government of India is at the National Level involved in advisory
services for mines. OSH supervision and inspection of the mines in India the same is
carried out by Director General of Mine Safety (DGMS).
As for The Building & Construction activity each state Government is to have its own
inspectors under The Building & Construction Workers (Regulations of Employment
and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996, to carry out OSH supervision and inspection.
About 25.71 million building and other construction workers are estimated in India as
per estimates of National Sample Survey (2004-2005). The building and other
construction workers are one of the most vulnerable segments of the unorganised
sector workers in India. Their work is of temporary nature, the relationship between
employer and employee is temporary, working hours are uncertain. The building and
other construction works are characterized by inherent risk to the life and limb of
workers. The construction workers are basically unskilled, migrant, socially
backward, uneducated with low bargaining power.Enforcement part of the Act is
implemented by CLC in the Central sphere and State Government in the state
sphere. Welfare part is implemented by the state Governments. At National Level,
DGLW has the responsibility of enforcing the BOCW Act, 1996.
- 24 -
As for the Shops and Commercial Establishments they are covered under “The Shops
and Commercial Establishments Acts” enacted by respective State Governments Acts
and the enforcement agencies are the local municipal authorities, who once a while
visit to inspect OSH compliances.
Actual inspection practices are modified in each state-level to meet their local
requirements. For example, in GujaratJoint Inspection is being done randomly as per
Ease of Doing Business and the inspection process is computerized and randomized.
States like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and others are also adopting self certification
system and in line with ease of doing business system introduced recently. If serious
violations are noticed during inspection, then prosecution are also launched against
the erring management under section 92 of the Factories Act, 1948.
Also if there are complaints filed by the workers or unions in any enterprise then the
relevant enforcement agency investigates the same and takes appropriate action.
The number of sanctioned posts of inspectors and the strength presently available in
each state for factories for the years from 2011 to 2015 are given in AnnexureII.
The number of inspections and enquiries conducted by DGMS officers during the year
2011 to 2015 are given in Annexure III (Source: Standard Reference of DGMS)

4. Arrangements to promote, at the level of the undertaking,
cooperation between management, workers and their
representatives
The safety committees in each of the undertakings are constituted as per The Factories
Act, 1948 and the rules framed by each of state Governments under the Act. The Act
lays down that, the occupier shall, in every factory where a hazardous process takes
place, or where hazardous substances are used or handled, set up a Safety Committee
consisting of equal number of representatives of workers and management to promote
co-operation between the workers and management in maintaining proper safety and
health at work and to review periodically the measures taken in that behalf. Most state
Government has extended this provision in their Rules to every factory where in 250
workers or more are ordinary employed.Number of OSHcommittees as per Factories
Act 1947 during the year 2011 to 2015 is given in Annexure IV.
As per The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Act, 1986 each of the twelve
ports located at Mumbai, JNPT, Kandla, Morugao, Kokota, Paradip, Vishakhapatnam,
Chennai, Ennore, New Mangalore and Tuticorin have safety Committees consisting of
workers and management.
The Hazardous Factories under The Factories Act are required to have an On- Site
Emergency Plan and also the Rules of the State Governments under the Factories Act,
- 26 -
1947 lay down criteria for factories to have a Health and Safety Policy. State wise
details are given for the years 2011 to 2015 in Annexure VI.
Under Regulation 112 of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations,
1990, every port shall have approved emergency action plan acceptable to the Chief
Inspector to handle the emergency like:
Most of the mining companies in the organised sector have enunciated company's safety
policy and set up Internal Safety Organisation (ISO) for monitoring, advising on and
aiding in the implementation of safety measures in mines as per Company’s policies and
guidelines in keeping with the statutory provisions. ISOs are headed by a senior officer
of the Executive Director/Chief General Manager level in the coal companies and are
multi-disciplinary in character.

5. National Tripartite Advisory Body Addressing Issues
The agenda of The Indian Labour Conference (ILC) is finalised by the Standing Labour
Committee which is again a tripartite body after detailed discussions.
The Chairman of the Advisory Committee is the Chief Inspector of Dock Safety,
DGFASLI. The tenure of each Advisory Committee is of three years.
The Advisory Committee meetings have played an important role and many decisions
have resulted in the improvement of OSH of Dock Workers. Some of the important
points discussed and decision taken during earlier meetings:
1) Use of spreaders/twist locks for Container Handling/ Transportation.
2) Restructuring/effective functioning of Port Safety Committees.
3) Establishment of Occupational Health Centres in ports.
4) Supply and use of PPEs.
- 28 -
5) Medical Examination of dock workers.
6) Controlling of transportation accidents
7) Framing of Safety Policy by Ports, etc.
8) Port Trust Doctors to undergo AFIH Course conducted by DGFASLI.
9) Amendment of the existing Dock Safety statutes.
10)Providing effective dust control devices in the mechanical bulk material
handling system.
The Committee also deliberate on issues like dust control measures, road safety
aspects, upgrading the training facilities, providing canteen facilities to private
workers etc. The thirteenth annual meeting was held in Dec 2016.
The Conference on Safety in Mines is a tripartite forum at the national level in which
the employers' representatives, the trade unions' representatives, the Government
represented by Ministry of Labour& Employment, DGMS, various administrative
ministries/ departments and State Governments and associated institutions,
professional bodies, service associations, etc. take part. They review the status of
safety in mines and the adequacy of existing measures in a spirit of mutual
cooperation. The conference also suggests measures for further improvement in
safety, welfare and health of mine workers. The first Conference was held in the year
1958 and the eleventh conference was held on 4th & 5th July, 2013 at New Delhi during
which three major issues (i) Small Scale Mining, (ii) Safety, health & welfare of
Contractual workers & (iii) Surface & underground transportation machinery were
deliberated in detail. A number of recommendations of these conferences have been
given statutory backing and most of the others have been absorbed in management
practices and policies. The conclusions and recommendations drawn during the
conference have already been circulated to the mining industries for compliance.

6. Information and Advisory services on OSH
Also the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health and Factory Inspectorates of
various State Governments have web sites and their contact details are given in
Annexure VII.
The Directorate General of Factory Advice Service &Labour Institutes (DGFASLI) has a
web site (www.dgfasli.nic.in) which disseminates OSH information. DGFASLI is the
technical arm of the Ministry of Labour& Employment (MOLE), Government of India
on matters concerned with safety, health, productivity and working conditions in
factories and ports.
National Safety Council (NSC) a Non Governmental Organisation also offers limited
occupational safety services( www.nsc.org.in) and National Institute of Occupational
Health under the Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, Govt. of India offers services in the field of occupational health on national
basis. (http://www.nioh.org )

7. Provision of OSH Training
7.1.1 DGFASLI
DGFASLI through Central Labour Institute & Regional Labour Institute conducts both
short term and long term OSH training programmes on various topics .The Long
Duration Training programmes include Professional Programmes and Specialised
Training programmes. The details of Long Duration Training Programmes conducted
during the year 2015 are given in table below
- 32 -
7.1.2 DGMS
DGMS conduct Examinations and Award of Statutory certificates of Competency in
Mining. Mining is a war against unpredictable forces of nature and since conditions of
workings keep changing with time, the person at the spot has to take instantaneous
decisions in respect of the work being performed, consistent with safety. Thus
practical and on the spot decision of the front-line supervisor and managerial
executive is of paramount importance to prevent loss of life and property. To examine
the competency of persons eligible for manning such posts and to grant certificate of
competency, two Boards of Mining Examination, one for Coal mines and the other for
Metalliferous mines, function under the Chairmanship of the Director-General of Mines
Safety. Competency examinations are different from university examinations. In these
examinations stress is laid on practical aspects of managing/supervising a
mine/district apart from theoretical knowledge. In the case of Manager’s, Assistant
Manager’s, Surveyor’s and Overman’s/Foreman’s Certificates, the competency
examination consists of a written part and an oral part. In the year 2015, Computer
based Manager’s (First and Second Class) examination under Coal Mines Regulations
1957 was introduced. The candidates have to secure not less than 50% marks in
written(computer based) and then not less than 30% marks in oral with overall
percentage of 50 or above (computer based and oral combined together) to be
successful. For Manager’s examination under Metalliferous Mines Regulations 1961,
henceforth similar is the requirement for qualifying in the examinations. For Field
candidates ie persons not holding Degree in Mining Engineering or Diploma in Mining
the candidates have to appear in five subjects viz. Mine Management, Legislation &
General Safety, Winning and Working, Ventilation, Mining machinery and Mine
Surveying. Depending on the qualification and experience of the candidates,
exemptions from appearing in some papers/subjects are granted. For Surveyor’s and
Overman’s/Foreman’s certificates, candidates obtaining at least 40% mark in written
examination in a subject is then called for the oral examination. Candidates obtaining
at least 40% in orals and at least 50% in aggregate i.e. written and oral examinations
are declared successful. Before a candidate is allowed to appear in an examination his
application is scrutinized for valid first aid certificate, gas-testing certificate (wherever
required), other statutory certificate, practical experience, character certificate,
medical certificate and basic qualification certificate.
In case of junior examinations i.e. sirdar’s, shotfirer’s, mate’s, blaster’s etc. only oral
examinations are held. A candidate has to secure at least 50% marks with different
examiners to be declared successful. Details of examinations conducted by DGMS
during the year 2011 to 2016 are given in Annexure X.

8. Occupational Health and Industrial hygiene Services
8.1 Mechanisms
The department officers of the factory inspectorate in each of the states are provided
with certain equipmentsfor measuring light, sound, and other work environment
elements in the factories. In certain states like Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala the factory
inspectorate has a fully equipped Occupational Health & Research Centre (OHRC) and
Industrial Hygiene Laboratory through which occupational health wing can conduct
occupational disease detection cum Industrial Hygiene survey in different types of
manufacturing processes, to find out the occupational diseases and prevent hazards
responsible for the disease through industrial hygiene survey/studies conducted in
those areas.
Also each of the factories is required to medically examine the employees working
with them and maintains a record that they are medically fit to work. The Factory
management by and large has their own occupational health centre with full time or
part time medical officer, paramedical staff, ambulance room depending upon the
nature and the size of industry. The factory management at times also has a tie up
with nearby hospital / laboratory for periodical medical examination. Also each of the
factories has to provide and maintain first – aid boxes or cupboard of not less than one
for every one hundred and fifty workers employed in the factory.

women about the maternity benefits available to them at the time of their
appointment.
Also the provisions of the Maternity Benefit Act presently provide 26 weeks paid leave
to all working women with less than two surviving children.
- 52 -
13.2 Special arrangements for other special needs of women workers,
including transportation for night workers, or adjustment needs
due to body size differences
The Factories Act, 1948 is the principal legislation for regulating various aspects
relating to safety, health and welfare of the workers employed in the manufacturing
sector. This Act is a central enactment, which aims to secure the workers employed in
factories in terms of health, safety, welfare, proper working hours, leave and other
benefits. The State Governments and Union Territory Administrations frame their
State Factories Rules under the Act and enforce the provisions of the Act and the Rules,
through their State Factory Inspectorates/Directorates.
However, the States of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana have permitted woman workers to
perform night shifts in the factories registered under the Factories Act, 1948 with
certain safeguards.
Earlier, the Hon'ble High Court of Madras in its judgment in WP.No.4604 of 1999
(Shrimati R. Vasantha Vs UoI and others) has struck down the provisions of the Section
66(1) (b) regarding the employment of woman in night shifts.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment had requested all the state governments to
permitting women to work in night shifts with the provision of adequate safety,
security and transportation to the women workers.
Factories employing women workers between 7:00 pm and 6:00 am are provided with
transport facility to their door steps.
In the state of Tamil Nadu many of the textile mills employ women workers and
provide hostel facilities either within the factory or near the factory. To protect the
safety and security of the women workers accommodated in these hostels have been
stipulated in “Tamilnadu Hostel and Homes for Women and Children (Regulation) Act,
2014. The owners of these hostels are required to obtain a license under this Act from
the District Collector.The provisions of this Act are enforced by the Social Welfare
Department of Tamil Nadu.
- 53 -
14. Coordination and collaboration mechanisms at
national and enterprise levels including national
programme review mechanisms
Each of the state Government Factory Inspectorate gets information from the factories
in their respective states and then submits a periodical Consolidated Annual Returns
under the Factories Act, 1948 and allied Labour Acts and rules to DGFASLI, Labour
bureau, Shimla, Ministry of Labour and Returns regarding MAH factories to Ministry of
Environment & forests. Similar approach is adopted by Directorate General of Mines
Safety (DGMS) under Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India
regarding the mines in the country.
Legislations pertaining to Occupational safety and health in India are reviewed from
time to time due to technological advancement in manufacturing processes and rapid
expansion of industries. For this, tripartite consultations involving worker’s
association, employers association and government officials are adopted.
DGFASLI & DG, Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) in 2017 has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding in the area of OSH.
- 54 -
15. Technical Standards, Codes or Practices and Guidelines
on OSH
The statutory standards and codes are prescribed under the Factories Act & Rules and
the same are to be followed by the management of each factory. In the absence of the
prescribed standards and codes, the factory inspectorate department advices the
management to follow specific standards and codes which are relevant to their
industries like Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) for oil industries, etc.
Apart from the statutory standards, various voluntary standards have been formulated
by the Bureau of Indian Standards for various activities concerning safety such as
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), scaffolding, safety audits, testing of chains, wire
ropes, lifting tackles, pressure vessels, and also for calibration/testing of equipments
and others. These standards are periodically reviewed and revised. Indian Standards
related to Occupational Safety and Health is given in Annexure VII.
Indian Boiler Regulation codes and Standards are followed for all Boilers installed in
the country
- 55 -
16. Educational and awareness-raising arrangements to
enhance preventive safety and health culture, including
promotional initiatives
Every year the National Safety Day is celebrated on 4th March by most factories. In
quite many factories the National Safety Week i.e. 04th March to 10th March is
celebrated.
National Fire Service Week 14th-20th April 2015. National Fire Service Day/Week
(NSW) is celebrated every year in India from 14th April to 20th April. It is observed as
a part to pay homage to those brave Fire Fighters, who sacrificed their lives in line to
their duty on 14th April, 1944.
Safety week is held every year in different mining fields; efforts are made through
various audio-visual means, to inculcate safety consciousness amongst workers,
supervisors and others so as to influence their behaviour at work. Further, by holding
competition amongst various participating mines an attempt is made to improve the
working conditions.. Based on the accident experience, special safety drives are
sometimes launched to focus attention on specific cause-groups.
- 56 -
Accidents for the period from 2005 to 2007 for manufacturing sector and for the
period from 2007 – 08 to 2009 – 10 for the Port Sector.
To appreciate the contribution made by the factories and docks towards producing
quality goods and providing efficient services in safe and healthy conditions the
following awards are being given.
The Prime Minister’s Shram Awards (PMSA) were instituted in 1985, for the workers
(as defined in Industrial Disputes Act, 1947) in recognition of their outstanding
contributions in organizations both in public and private sector and who have
distinguished record of performance, devotion to duty of a high order, specific
contribution in the field of productivity, proven innovative abilities, presence of mind
and exceptional courage and also to the workmen who have made supreme sacrifice of

19. Occupational Injury and Disease Statistics and Events
Manufacturing Sector
The statistics of factories is collected and compiled by the Labour Bureau on the basis
of the Annual Returns/Reports in respect of the Factories Act 1948, furnished by
various States and Union Territories. Under the Factories Act, 1948, injuries resulting
from industrial accidents, by reasons of which the person injured is prevented from
attending to work for a period of 48 hours or more immediately following the
accident, are recorded.The information relating to occupational injuries in factories
are given in this chapter in tables 19.1 to 19.3, which are based on the statistics
provided by DG, Labour Bureau up to the year 2012.
As per data collected by the Labour Bureau, State-wise total number of injuries in the
factories for the years from 2009 to 2013 is given in table 19.1 in Annexure XIII.The
important indices on injuries are Frequency Rate (FR) and Incidence Rate (IR). The
Frequency Rate is defined as number of total injuries per 1, 00,000 man-days worked.
State-wise Frequency Rates of Industrial Injuries in the Factories during the year 2009 to 2013
is given in Table 19.2 in Annexure XIII.
The Incidence Rate is the number of injuries per 1000 workers employed in the
factories. State-wise Incidence Rates of Industrial Injuries in the Factories during the year
2009 to 2013 is given in Table 19.3 in Annexure XIII.
It should be noted that there are substantial limitations of interpreting the available
statistics and information regarding occupational injuries and disease. The statistics
shown below cover only manufacturing factories in the formal sector, and injuries and
diseases in smaller manufacturing factories in the unorganized sector are uncovered.
Another limitation is the weak reporting systems. There could be many unreported
injuries and disease.
Besides these constraints, there are general increasing trends in industrial injuries in
the observation periods shown in the tables below. Numbers of Industrial Injuries in
Factories shown in Table 19.1 are 5972 in 2008, 6651 in 2009, 11175 in 2010, and
10441 in 2011. The numbers of fatalities are 478 in 2008, 668 in 2009, 1064 in 2010,
and 1083 in 2011.The sudden decrease of the fatalities and injuries in 2012 maybe
because of the missing information of industrializing states including Gujarat, Odisha
and Punjab.

The statistics of major ports is collected and compiled by the DGFASLI on the basis of
the Annual Returns/Reports in respect of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and
Welfare) Act, 1986 and the Regulations, 1990 framed there under. As per provision
given under the Regulation 91 of the Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare)
Regulations, 1990, the employers of the dock workers are required to send the notice
of reportable accidents and dangerous occurrences to the Inspectorate Dock Safety
within fours hours of occurrence. Reportable Accidents & Dangerous Occurrences in major
Ports during the Year 2011 to 2015 is placed in Annexure XIV.
The port sector has a number of hazards and could cause serious industrial accidents.
Table 19.4 and 19.5 show, that some ports had high incident rates and others no. For
example, the incident rates of Mumbai port and Chennai port are 22.25 and 2.96,
respectively. These are much higher than other ports and indicating that a single
serious accident could cause many injuries and even fatalities. Average Daily
Employment & Rates of Reportable Accidents in major Ports during the year 2011 to 2015 is
placed in Annexure XIV.

During the year 2016, there were 72, 33 and 9 fatal accidents involving 76, 42 and 9
fatalities in coal, metal and oil mines, respectively. The numbers of fatal accidents
during the previous year 2015 were 53, 42 and 4 for coal, metal and oil mines
respectively.
Table 19.6indicates the trend in 10-yearly average number of fatal accidents and that of
fatality rates per thousand persons employed from 1901 to 2016 for coal and non-coal
mines. For coal mines, a consistent decline is observed in the 10-yearly average number
of accidents per year since the 1950s and in the 10-yearly average number of fatalities
since the 1970s. The same trend continued for the last 10-yearly period 2011-2016. For
non-coal mines, the average number of accidents and fatalities has remained more or
less at the same level during the period from 1971-80 to 1991-2000. While the last ten
yearly average during the period 2001-10 have slightly decreased in number of
accidents and fatalities and the last six-yearly average have fallen significantly during
the period 2016.

As per the Third Schedule of the Factories Act, 1948, following are the occupational
diseases i.e. occupational lung diseases, poisonings, contact dermatitis, occupational
cancers and noise-induced hearing loss. Few studies have reported statistics on
notifiable diseases. Silicosis was the commonest offender with 38%–54.5% prevalence
in slate pencil and precious/semi-precious stone manufacturing. The next commonest
was byssinosis with a prevalence of 30%–48.8% in textile and jute manufacturing. The
prevalence of asbestosis has been reported to be 3%–9% among workers involved in
its manufacture. List of Notifiable Dieseases as per Third Schedule of the Factories Act,
1948 is given under.

20. Industry-specific policies and programmes for
hazardous occupations
20.1 Manufacturing
The Government of India has taken the following measures / steps to prevent major
accidents in the factories:-
In order to obviate some of the short-comings, the Factories Act, 1948 was
amended in 1987 and made more comprehensive. Some of the important
provisions incorporated in the Act are as follows:
List of industries involving hazardous process has been enlisted in the First
Schedule.
e) Provision for the Right of Worker to obtain from the Occupier information
relating to workers’ health and safety at work, get trained by the occupier,
represent to the Inspector directly or through his representative in the
manner of inadequate provisions under Section111-A.
h) The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and the Rules framed thereunder
such as The Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazards Chemical (MSIHC)
Rules, 1989, The Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989,
The Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness and
Response) Rules, 1996 are also applicable to the factories handling
hazardous chemicals and the above aspects are covered including
responsibilities assigned to the Chief Inspector of Factories and other
concerned authorities.
- 83 -
20.2 Construction
The construction industry is the most hazards prone industry from accidents point of
view. A large number of accidents take place every year in the country. Under The
Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulations of Employment and Conditions
of Service) Act, 1996 there is provision of the safe means of access to, and the safety of,
any working place, including the provision of suitable and sufficient scaffolding at
various stages when work cannot be safely done from the ground or from any part of a
building or from a ladder or such other means of support. There is provision of
precautions to be taken in connection with the demolition of the whole or any
substantial part of a building or other structure under the supervision of a competent
person and the avoidance of danger from collapse of any building or other structure
while removing any part of the framed building or other structure by shoring or
otherwise. There is also the need to handle or use of explosive under the control of
competent persons so that there is no exposure to the risk of injury from explosion or
from flying material. Adequate care has to be exercised in erection, installation, use
and maintenance of transporting equipment, such as locomotives, trucks, wagons and
other vehicles and trailers and appointment of competent persons to drive or operate
such equipment. Also the erection, installation, use and maintenance of hoists, lifting
appliances and lifting gear including periodical testing and examination and heat
treatment, where necessary, precautions to be taken while raising or lowering loads,
restrictions on carriage of persons and appointment of competent persons on hoists or
other lifting appliances. There is need for adequate and suitable lighting of every
workplace and approach thereto, of every place where raising or lowering operations
with the use of hoists, lifting appliances or lifting gears are in progress and of all
openings dangerous to building workers employed. Also the precautions need to be
taken to prevent inhalation of dust, fumes, gases or vapours during any grinding,
cleaning, spraying or manipulation of any material and steps to be taken to secure and
maintain adequate ventilation of every working place or confined space. Also safe
measures need to be taken during stacking or unshackling, stowing or unstowing of
materials or goods or handling in connection therewith. the safeguarding of machinery
including the fencing of every fly-wheel and every moving part of a prime mover and
every part of transmission or other machinery, unless it is in such a position or of such
construction as to be safe to every worker working on any of the operations and as if it
were securely fenced.
20.3 Mining
Mining is considered as one of the most hazardous industry in India. At the same time
mining is an essential activity in each economy to use the available mineral resources
of a country. Mining has a significant contribution to the GDP. On the one hand we
have large mines in the organized sector and at the same time, there are a large
number of small mines in the unorganized sector. The mining practices and the
- 84 -
working conditions in large nines are far better, than those prevalent in small mines in
the unorganised sector.
- 85 -
21. Mechanisms to Prevent Industrial Disaster, Protect
Environment and Promote Public Safety
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister
of India, is the apex body for Disaster Management in India. Setting up of NDMA and
the creation of an enabling environment for institutional mechanisms at the State and
District levels is mandated by the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
- 86 -
Disaster Management Act, 2005
Disaster Management Act, 2005 has been enacted by the Parliament to provide for the
effective management of disasters and for matters connected therewith or incidental
thereto. The National Disaster Management Authority is the national authority to
(d) lay down guidelines to be followed by the State Authorities in drawing up the State
Plan;
(f) coordinate the enforcement and implementation of the policy and plan for disaster
management;
(h) provide such support to other countries affected by major disasters as may be
determined bythe Central Government;
(i) take such other measures for the prevention of disaster, or the mitigation, or
preparedness andcapacity building for dealing with the threatening disaster situation
or disaster as it may considernecessary;
(j) lay down broad policies and guidelines for the functioning of the National Institute
of Disaster Management (NIDM)
The Prime Minister of India is the Chairperson of the authority. The State Disaster
Management Authority constituted under the Act is responsible for laying down
policies and plans for disaster management in the State and and approve the State
Plan in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the National Authority.
- 87 -
To prevent the industrial disasters separate Safety Monitoring Cell have been
constituted where there are hazardous factories especially in chemical zones. They
carryout activities listed below to prevent occurrenceof industrial disasters.
• Dedicated expert’s inspection team for better understanding and
implementation.
• Creating a data bank on hazardous chemical used, manufactured and handled
with holding capacities.
• Co-ordinating with other departments like district administration, Fire and
emergency services, pollution control board, Drugs controller, petroleum and
explosives Safety organization, etc..;
• Reviewing the on-site emergency plans of the Factories.
• Assisting and Co-ordinating the emergency mock drills to establish a foolproof
system.
• Assisting the District administration in the preparation of off-site emergency
plan.
• Co-ordination in off-site emergency exercises.
• Publics are involved in mock drills/ exercises conducted in MAH industries,
• Off-site emergency mock drills are conducted involving public living in the
vicinity of the factory.
• The safety pamphlets are distributed in the public areas around the factory.
• The public awareness programmes are organised with the involvement of local
bodies etc., as local crisis group to address important issues relating to chemical
accidents have been constituted as per chemical accident (Emergency planning
preparedness and Response) Rules 1996.
The hazardous factories are required to develop an Onsite Emergency Plan covering
all the possible emergencies for submitting to the Directorate of Industrial Safety and
Health for recording. District collector is the authority for the preparation of Off site
emergency plan.
- 88 -
22. OSH policies and programmes of organizations of
employers and workers
- 89 -
23. Regular or Ongoing Activities related to OSH, including
international collaboration
The Factories Act, 1948 is the comprehensive legislation governing the safety, health
and welfare of the workers working in factories. The Act being a central enactment is
administered by DGFASLI under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government
of India. The Act was last amended in the year 1987. A comprehensive amendment
proposal to the Factories Act, 1948 was initiated and the Factories (Amendment) Bill
was introduced in the year 2014 in the LokSabha. The same is referred to the
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour. The committee has submitted their
report on the Bill. The Ministry carried out tripartite consultations on the amendment
proposal so as to make a consensus on the proposal. Based on the tripartite and
bipartite consultations an official proposal to the Factories (Amendment) Bill, 2014
has been prepared and the same is introduced in RajyaSabha. The salient points in the
Bill are as under:
• The application for registration of Factories is proposed to be fully automated
and web enabled. Proposal is included for issue of Provisional registration on
real time on submission of self- certified declaration.
• For empowering women workers the amendment is included with the
provisions to allow women workers to work in night shifts and overtime, on
assurance of their safety and welfare.
India in South Asia is a pioneer in the field of Occupational Safety & Health in South
Asia and also a fastest growing economy in the region has taken initiatives to develop
cooperation amongst SAARC Nations in this field. As a commencing step, a three-day
South Asian Experts’ meeting on OSH was organized by the Ministry of Labour and
Employment (MoLE), India, with the active support of ILO, New Delhi in 2016 to
enhance the technical collaboration and knowledge sharing on OSH for upgrading OSH
systems in the SAARC Nations. It was mutually agreed by the experts during the
meeting to establish a SAARC - OSH Network.
In this direction two such programmes have recently organised in Nepal and as an
outcome it has been suggested to include the aspect of OSH in the agenda for the next
meeting of SAARC members.
The Government of India is deeply concerned for bringing the North-Eastern region
into the mainstream of the country. In 2014, under a Plan Scheme of DGFASLI
“Establishment of Regional Labour Institute at Shillong for the North-East region”
was initiated with the objective to cater the needs of the North-Eastern Region in the
areas of Occupational, Safety & Health for addressing the safety and health issues in
the factories of the North-Eastern part of the country. The Plan is now operational and
land has been acquired from the State Government for developing the Institute. The
Hon'ble Minister of State (IC) Labour & Employment laid the foundation stone of the
Institute. The drawing & estimate is obtained from CPWD and the construction activity
is expected to commence shortly.

24. Data addressing demography, literacy, economy and
employment, as available, as well as any other relevant
information
There are 29 states in India. Their populations range massively in size – the largest,
Uttar Pradesh, holds almost 200 million people, the smallest, Sikkim, just over half a
million.
India's largest state is Uttar Pradesh which, with a population of 199,581,520 in 2011,
is larger than most countries in the world. If it were a country in its own right, it
would be the fifth largest in the world,falling just behind China, India, the United
States and Indonesia.
Two other Indian states are home to more than 100 million people - Maharashta
(pop: 112.4 million) and Bihar (pop: 103.8 million). The smallest state in India is
Sikkim (pop: 607,688).
India Demographics
Data on ethnicity is not collected by the Indian census, although the CIA World
Factbook estimates the population is 72% Indo-Aryan, 25% Dravidian, and 3%
Mongoloid and other.
Hinduism is the most common religion in India, accounting for about 80% of the
population. Islam is the second-largest religion at 13% of the population. Other major
religious groups in India are Christians (2.3%), Sikhs (1.9%), Buddhists (0.8%) and
Jains (0.4%). People who claimed no religion are officially recorded under 'other' by
the census. In 2011, 0.9% of Indians selected the 'No Religion' category.
- 91 -
While the number of Indians living in urban areas has increased over the last two
decades, about 67% of people still live in rural areas. In 2011, India had a literacy rate
of 74%: 82% for men and 65% for women. The literacy rate varies wildly by state.
Bihar is the least literate with a rate of 63.82%.
The 2011 census was the second largest the world has ever seen - second only to
China's census the previous year. It took place in two phases. The first phase, in April
2010, counted all of the buildings in India, and the second phase collected data about
the people of India.
The census was a massive exercise, employing millions of Indians. The total cost of
the census came to $439 million which was actually considerably cheaper per person
than most censuses held around the world. The average census costs over $4 per
person, whereas the census in India cost just $.50 per person.
The 2011 census was the fifteenth nationwide census carried out in India. The first
was held in 1881, although it was not able to cover all of British-held Indian territory.
The first comprehensive nationwide census was carried out under the auspices of
Lord Ripon, the British Viceroy of India at the time, and counted a population of 288
million in 1881. Since then, a census has been held every ten years in India.

India is the second most populated country in the world with nearly a fifth of the
world's population. According to the 2017 revision of the World Population
Prospects, the population stood at 1,324,171,354.
During 1975–2010 the population doubled to 1.2 billion. The Indian population
reached the billion mark in 1998. India is projected to be the world's most populous
country by 2022, surpassing the population of China. It is expected to become the first
political entity in history to be home to more than 1.5 billion people by 2030, and its
population is set to reach 1.7 billion by 2050. Its population growth rate is 1.2%,
ranking 94th in the world in 2013.
India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65%
below the age of 35. It is expected that, in 2020, the average age of an Indian will be
29 years, compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan; and, by 2030, India's
dependency ratio should be just over 0.4.
India has more than two thousand ethnic groups, and every major religion is
represented, as are four major families oflanguages (Indo-European, Dravidian,
Austroasiatic and Sino-Tibetan languages) as well as twolanguage isolates(the Nihali
language[10] spoken in parts of Maharashtra and the Burushaski language spoken in
parts of Jammu and Kashmir (Kashmir).
Further complexity is lent by the great variation that occurs across this population on
social parameters such as income and education. Only the continent of Africa exceeds
the linguistic, genetic and cultural diversity of the nation of India. The sex ratio is 944
females for 1000 males (2016).

Recommendations of Action Points for including in the
National OSH Programme
Gap Analysis of existing National OSH systems
3. The Factories Act, 1948 is a central enactment for securing the safety,
health and welfare of workers working in the factories. Under the
enabling provisions of the Act, the state governments are empowered to
frame their respective state factories rules and enforce both the Act and
the Rules in their states. The state governments through their
Inspectorates of Factories /Directorates of Industrial Safety and Health
under the labour departments enforce the provisions of the Act and the
rules. The manpower strength of these Inspectorates /Directorates is
insuffucient to effectively enforce the Act and the Rules. Many posts under
these Inspectorates /Directorates are lying vacant due to which the
enforcement activity is adversely affected. Further, central rules under
the Factories Act, 1948 are not available which must be framed and
enforced by an authority under the central government for the factories
under the administrative control of the central government and public
sector undertakings.
4. The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Act, 1986 and
Regulations, 1990 framed thereunder are being enforced only in major
ports by DGFASLI. For the ports, other than the major ports, the state
governments are required to frame their respective state regulations and
enforce the provisions of the both the Act and the Regulations in these
- 96 -
ports. However, till date none of the states have framed their regulations
for enforcement in these ports. Since, these ports are also handling huge
quantities of cargo, including dangerous goods, the absence of regulation
on safety and health of the workers and its enforcement is a major gap.
6. Clause 4.5.1 of the NPSHEW requires providing for research in the field of
safety, health and environment at workplace, including the social and
psychological factors involved, and by developing innovative methods,
techniques including computer aided Risk Assessment Tools, and
approaches for dealing with safety, health and environment at workplace.
At present only limited institutes in the country are available for research
and development in the field of OSH. These institutions are not fully
equipped for carrying out their activities effectively.
- 97 -
10. Clause 2.3 of the NPSHEW provides for a system of incentives to
employers and employees to encourage achieving higher standards of
safety and health at workplaces. Such a system is not available, except for
the manufacturing and mining sectors being covered under the Factories
Act, 1948 and the Mines Act, 1952 in the formal economy. Further, for the
informal economy no such system is in existence.
14. Clause 4.4.7 of the provides for suitably incorporating teaching inputs on
safety, health and environment at work place in schools, technical,
medical, professional and vocational courses and distance education
programme. At present teaching inputs on safety and health are not
included in the teaching curricula in schools, technical, medical,
professional and vocational courses and distance education programme.
15. Clause 4.6.6 requires adopting Occupational Safety and Health training
curricula in workplace and industry programmes. Such training institutes
are at present not identified in the country.
17. The agriculture sector is lacking on legislation on safety and health for the
workers working in this sector. There are certain Acts on occupational
safety and health pertaining to certain equipments or substances, viz., the
Dangerous Machines Regulation Act, the Insecticides Act. The
enforcement authorities are not identified uder these Acts and hence are
not being enforced. The agriculture sector is the largest sector of

economic activity and needs to be regulated for safety and health aspects.
Lack of legislation on safety and health in the agriculture sector is
hindering the ratification of ILO convention 155.
