    D Any contractor supplying labour to the factory. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under the Factories Act, the principal employer in a factory is the owner or occupier, but if a manager has been officially designated under the Factories Act, then the manager is considered the principal employer. This ensures that responsibility for contract labour is clearly assigned.
