• The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (OSH & WC Code) represents a watershed reform in India’s labour framework.
• By consolidating thirteen diverse labour laws and reducing 622 provisions into a streamlined set of 134, the Code ushers in a modern, coherent structure for safeguarding workplace safety and well-being.
• It extends occupational safety and health requirements to nearly all establishments employing ten or more workers—including those in the service sector—and applies these protections universally wherever hazardous or life threatening activities are undertaken.
• Strengthening worker rights at their core, the Code makes it mandatory for employers to issue appointment letters and empowers every employee to participate actively in improving safety and health standards at the workplace.
• The Law Relating to the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 provides an exhaustive, section-wise commentary enriched with decisions from courts across India.
• The book also includes a detailed comparative chart juxtaposing the Code’s provisions with the repealed laws, offering valuable clarity on the transition to the new regime.
• Comprehensive and authoritative, this volume is an indispensable resource for judges, lawyers, corporate management, students, and trade union leaders seeking to navigate India’s transformed occupational safety and working conditions landscape.
