Practical Guide to Factories Act

.............................................................................................................................
Description
The Factories Act, 1948occupies a key position. It governs the conditions of service of millions of persons employed in factories. This book is an outcome of more than five decades of my experience as a teacher, lawyer and consultant. Of all the factors that led to the writing of this book, the most important was the growing and long standing demand of Lawyers, HR Executives, Factory Inspectors/Directors Labour Welfare Offices, Law Officers and students. Further the response to my previous books - Industrial Relations & Labour Laws, Social Security and Labour Laws, Labour Law in Factories, Mines, Plantations, etc. Several new projects are coming and it provides lot of new employment. At the same time, the existing plants with obsolete technology are getting outdated and they are to be scrapped. This necessitates the compliance of the Factories Act, 1948 and the Rules which have become obsolete in view of the changed scenario and technical advancement.
