Sundaram Engineering's factory has 40 male, 25 female and 2 transgender employees. The manager says one common latrine is enough. Under Section 23 of the Code, what may the Central Government prescribe regarding sanitation?

The Code allows prescribing sufficient latrine and urinal accommodation separately for male, female and transgender employees, along with maintaining hygiene in them. A single shared block, or separation for women only, does not match Section 23(2)(viii).

  1. ALatrine and urinal accommodation separately for male, female and transgender employees, with hygiene maintainedCorrect
  2. BA single shared latrine block for all employees to reduce cost
  3. CSeparate latrines only for female employees
  4. DLatrines only where more than 500 employees are employed

Explanation

Section 23(2)(viii) refers to sufficient arrangement for latrine and urinal accommodation for male, female and transgender employees separately and maintaining hygiene therein. A common block ignores the separate-accommodation requirement, and the Code states no 500-employee threshold here.
