Never allow the workforce to interact with the Labor Officer. If you allow it, your costs will increase. Please bring him to your office. Offer him a New Year Diary or take him to a hotel, offer him some good quality, expensive food, and send him off from the hotel itself. If he visits your workplace, it should be a friendly visit. Maintain the rapport like that, or it will become a problem for you.

Dear Bhaskar Thanks For replying to the post. But it still a question for me that what kind of documentation should be done while having such a visit inside the plant.

Please maintain good rapport, maintain good relationship. If you did not maintain good relationship, then whatever document you are maintaining is waste. With warm regards S. Bhaskar 9099024667

Dear Bhaskar,
Maintaining rapport and a good relationship is a fundamental phenomenon. I am not asking about how to tackle the situation; instead, I am inquiring about the legal aspects that should be handled by the person responsible for HR in any industry.

Dear Nitin,
You have to maintain all the registers as per Contract Labour (R&A) Act. Maintain and confirm all statutory requirements are fulfilled.
i.e., Adequate toilet facilities provided (1 toilet per 25 workmen), Washing Platform, Resting place, Canteen facilities. If the workmen strength is more than 500, provide Doctor, Labour Welfare Officer. If female coolie is deployed, then provide creche for the children. Provide Potable wholesome drinking water. If the accommodation provided is outside the work area, please provide conveyance vehicles for shifting of the workforce from the labour colony to the site and back. Their wages should be paid by the 7th of every month. They must be paid double OT, etc.
Display Notice Board, Various Acts (Child Labour Abolition Act, Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act, Contractor Labour Act, Gratuity Act, Workmen Compensation Act) in English, Hindi, and regional language. Labour Licence, Registration of Establishment Certificate.
Maintain Half-yearly and Annual returns filed regularly, Register of Workmen, Register of Subcontractor, Register of Fines, Register of Advance, Register of Damage or Loss, Register of Muster Roll, Wages, OT, Employment Card of all workmen, Full and Final Settlement of all workmen who have gone out.
Even if you maintain all the above records and statutory obligations, the Labour Inspector will easily point out any discrepancies.
They can write that sanitation is not maintained properly, adequate lighting arrangements are not made, or workmen are not paid as per the Minimum Wages Act, or whatever they feel.
But if you maintain a good relationship, then he will directly come to your office. With good comments, he will leave your office.
