Dear Bijay ji,
Compliance under the FA, only factory management i.e. manager and occupier of the factory is responsible and liable whereas compliance under the CLRA, POW, MW and other enactments both the principal and contractors are responsible and liable jointly and or severally. However, certain compliances only PE is responsible and liable.
Generally liability start with visit remark by the Inspectors. Factory Inspectorate never issue any notice to contractor.
