It is aptly said that "You cannot run a factory, complying with all the requirements under the Factories Act." It not only speaks of the multitude of requirements but also the impracticability of many of the stipulations. Hence, there is a real need to have a relook at the Factories Act; it is high time.
First of all, is there any need to renew the license every year as long as the manufacturing process remains the same, quantitatively and process-wise? In the wake of the Bhopal Gas tragedy, many safety provisions have been brought into the statute book, but many of them remind us of the licensing, permitting, and inspection era. There is a need to have a separate enactment for safety and other provisions. Safety is a specialized area with a wider connotation involving the engineering process, whereas welfare is a totally different dimension. Even the penal provisions are too harsh, but there is no responsibility for the factory inspectorate in ensuring safe working conditions. Any prosecution shall be initiated only after willful disregard of instructions given by the Inspector regarding unsafe conditions.
I really hope and pray that something good comes out of this exercise.
