The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions

Solution

Explanation:  The OSH Code, 2020 applies to all establishments that employ 10 or more workers. This threshold is significant because it consolidates 13 earlier labour laws including the Factories Act, 1948, the Mines Act, 1952, and the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 under one umbrella, and the 10-worker threshold serves as the general entry point for most of its provisions. Option (B) is incorrect as 100 workers was the threshold under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 for standing orders, which is now governed by the Industrial Relations Code. Option (D) is incorrect as 20 workers was the threshold under the old Contract Labour Act for certain provisions. The 10-worker threshold under OSH Code must not be confused with these.
