Appointment of an Inspector
Through the Official Gazette, the State Government has the mandate to appoint other officers who may include additional Chief Inspectors, Joint Chief Inspectors, and Deputy Chief Inspectors; to give a helping hand to the Chief Inspector. All these inspectors are termed to be public servants according to the Indian Penal code, 1860.
People who act as inspectors are not allowed to be directly or indirectly involved in a factory even in the simplest of interests, processes, businesses or machinery.
Furthermore, the State Government may also select additional Inspectors in the stated local limits through the Official Gazette.
