Sunrise Textiles Ltd runs a factory at Surat where 120 workers, including 30 contract labourers, are ordinarily employed. Under the welfare provisions of the OSH Code, 2020, which facility is the employer expressly responsible for providing and maintaining?

The employer must provide a canteen. Section 24(1)(v) of the OSH Code applies where one hundred or more workers, including contract labourers, are ordinarily employed, and the factory has 120. Welfare officer and ambulance room thresholds are higher, at 250 and more than 500.

  1. AA canteen, because 100 or more workers including contract labourers are ordinarily employedCorrect
  2. BA canteen, but only if more than 250 permanent workers are employed
  3. CA welfare officer, because more than 100 workers are employed
  4. DAn ambulance room, because more than 100 workers are employed

Explanation

Section 24(1)(v) requires a canteen where one hundred or more workers, including contract labourers, are ordinarily employed. Here 120 workers qualify. The welfare officer threshold is 250 or more and the ambulance room threshold is more than 500, so those options fail. Contract labourers are counted, so the 'permanent only' option is wrong.
