How Do You Prepare a Plan Under the Factory Act? Key Considerations and Insights

Preparation of a Plan: Key Considerations

Which points are recommended during the preparation of a plan? Or, how should one view a plan from the perspective of the Factory Act?

Your query is not clear. However, you need to have a clear conception of the Factories Act, especially Section 6 regarding the licensing of factories.

The plan should contain a key plan, a site plan in a 1:400 scale, and a detailed plan in a 1:100 scale to show all details of the site plan. This includes plan elevation section views to display the height details and other important particulars.

I have gone through the query you have posted on the forum regarding obtaining a factory license under the provisions of Section 6 of the Factories Act, 1948. An occupier is required to have its factory building plans approved by the Chief Inspector of Factories of the State where the factory is located, in accordance with the provisions specified in the State Factory Rules before commencing occupation of the building.

Points to Consider for Factory Plan Approval

The plan should include a Site Plan to a scale of 1:100, a layout plan to a scale of 1:10, cross-sections of the buildings, sectional elevations, front elevations, and general information about the industry. It should also detail the manufacturing process, layout of machinery to be installed in the plant, and safety provisions such as exit doors, emergency exits, fire hydrant systems, fire extinguisher locations, and the number of workers to be deployed.

Apart from what Mr. Yadav mentioned above, the following points need to be taken care of while reviewing the plan:

- Number of machinery: Horsepower details
- Any additional constructions to be included and deletions to be excluded. If so, highlight them in color.
- TOPO Plan
