The Code acts as a regulatory of health and safety conditions of workers in an establishment with 10 or more workers, and in all mines and docks.
The Code was introduced in Lok Sabha on 23rd July 2019 wherein, it was further referred to a Standing Committee on 9th October 2019 and eventually on 11th February 2020, the Standing Committee submitted its report on the Code.
