Short note on The Factories Act, 1948
During the early stages of the industrialization of India, industrial laws were still in their nascent stages. The industrial arena was rather in a chaotic state. Industries could treat labourers in any ways and no one could stop them. Workers would be harassed, denied pay, healthcare, and related necessities, and welfare was out of question. Things were getting out of hand and many workers formed their own organizations to fight on their behalf. Needless to say, some workers even resorted to violence to have their needs met.

The
government finally intervened and established the Factories Act in 1948.
According to this act, safety, welfare and health of labourers is of utmost
importance within the industry. The Act applies to all industries in India -
including those in Jammu and Kashmir. The major objectives of the Act are:
1.
Protect labourers from long hours of work.
2.
Maintain healthy and sanitary conditions in the workplace.
3.
Maintain safety of workers.
4.
Maintain industrial machines operated by people so as to avoid unnecessary
accidents.
5. Have industrial inspectors regularly visit
industrial sites to oversee health and safety regulations.
