The Plantations Labour (Kerala Amendment) Act, 1969, is a specific legislative update to the central Plantations Labour Act, 1951, applicable only within the state of Kerala. Its primary purpose is to ensure that plantation owners fulfill their legal obligations regarding worker welfare. The Act empowers the Chief Inspector to intervene if an employer fails to appoint mandatory Welfare Officers or neglects to provide essential facilities like housing, medical care, or sanitation. If an employer defaults, the Chief Inspector can arrange for these services directly and recover the associated costs from the employer as an arrear of land revenue.
