Labour20259 sections

This Regulation amends the Factories Act, 1948, specifically for the Union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It modifies the definition of a factory by increasing the minimum worker threshold required for registration, which exempts smaller establishments from certain regulatory requirements. The Regulation increases the maximum daily working hours to ten and extends the spreadover period to twelve hours. It also permits women to work night shifts with their consent, provided the employer ensures safety and security measures. Additionally, it raises the limit for overtime hours and adjusts the intervals for rest. These changes update industrial operational standards within the territory.
