We have apprentices for different trades. Is there any provision for apprentice safety? What type of safety measures can we provide to ensure their well-being? Can we offer insurance policies or other benefits, such as medical coverage? Kindly suggest, please.

Dear member,
Have you raised the query for the apprentices who are covered under the Apprentice Act of your state? Apprentices are learners, and they are expected to help the experts. Therefore, in normal practice, they are not supposed to do any hard job. However, if the job demands it, then they need to be treated on par with the regular employees and provided with the necessary PPEs.
Lastly, you are expected to deduct the ESI from the allowance that you pay to the apprentices. In that case, the provisions of ESI become applicable to them as such. Additionally, if you wish to provide further protection, you may consider covering them under additional insurance.
Thanks,

Dear Member,
Good morning.
For apprentice trainees, ESI is not applicable. Hence, you have to cover them under mediclaim insurance for medical treatment and for risks you can cover them under Employee Compensation, Personal Accident, or Group Term Insurance.
