A factory employs 260 workers and a building project has 600 workers. Applying the welfare provisions of the OSH Code, 2020 on what the Central Government may prescribe, which is correct?

The factory with 260 workers meets the threshold of 250 or more for a welfare officer, and the building project with 600 workers exceeds 500, so an ambulance room may be prescribed there. Neither is limited to mines.

  1. AA welfare officer may be prescribed for the factory, and an ambulance room for the building projectCorrect
  2. BNo welfare officer applies to the factory, as the threshold is 500 workers
  3. CAn ambulance room applies to the project only when workers are 250 or more
  4. DBoth are required only in mines

Explanation

A welfare officer may be prescribed in every factory, mine or plantation with 250 or more workers, so 260 qualifies. An ambulance room may be prescribed where more than 500 workers are ordinarily employed in a factory, mine, building or other construction work, so 600 qualifies.
