OSH Code Explained: Working Hours, Workplace Safety & Employer Responsibilities

Legalbook · Beginner ·📄 Research Papers Explained ·6mo ago

About this lesson

The debate is not 60 hours or 70 hours. The law is clear at 48. Under the OSH Code, working beyond 48 hours attracts overtime obligations, and workplace safety is no longer optional. If an accident happens at the workplace, the employer is directly responsible. Night shifts for women are allowed, but only with documented consent, safe working conditions, and transport facilities. Contract labour does not reduce your responsibility. Even with a vendor involved, liability remains with the primary employer. Non-compliance can lead to criminal liability, audits, and long-term litigation. This reel breaks down what founders and business owners must prepare for under the OSH Code. #OSHCode #LabourLawIndia #FounderCompliance #LegalBook #radhikakabade
