I think that performance of other duties by Factory Safety Officers is prohibited under some State Factories Rules. Better check your State Rules.

Dear Colleague,
Ordinarily ,same person cannot hold two statutory functions as the F Act and Rules provide for distinct qualifications and eligibility conditions for both.
I don't see this is possible unless one person holds both the qualifications and passes muster with the Factory authorities .
