Ganga Constructions, a contractor, builds a site for Prime Realty Ltd, the principal employer, and 600 workers are ordinarily employed. Considering the OSH Code, 2020, which statement is correct?

The principal employer may be required to pay the accommodation expenses incurred by the contractor, and an ambulance room may be prescribed. Section 24(2)(vi) covers the payment, and section 24(2)(i) covers ambulance rooms in construction work employing more than five hundred workers.

  1. AThe principal employer may be required to pay the expenses incurred on providing accommodation to the contractor, and an ambulance room may be prescribedCorrect
  2. BThe contractor alone bears accommodation costs, and no ambulance room applies
  3. CAn ambulance room applies only to factories and mines, not construction work
  4. DThe principal employer bears accommodation cost only if fewer than 500 workers are employed

Explanation

Section 24(2)(vi) lets rules require the principal employer to pay the contractor's accommodation expenses where work is done through a contractor. Section 24(2)(i) covers an ambulance room in a factory, mine, building or other construction work with more than five hundred workers; 600 qualifies. The other options misstate scope or add a false threshold.
