How Do I Get Welfare and Safety Officer Positions Approved Under AP Factories Act?

Dear Seniors,

I am working in a manufacturing company and would like to know the procedure for ratifying the positions of "Welfare Officer" and "Safety Officer" to Inspector of Factories under the AP Factories Act.

Hi,

The recruitment process should be done by giving a paper advertisement for calling in candidates for interviews with the requisite qualifications. Selection should be conducted after the interviews, and the appointed candidates' documents such as qualifications, experience, and appointment details should be presented to the Director of Factories for ratification. The qualifications, pay, etc., for the prescribed posts are mentioned in the Factories Act/State rules.

Consultation of the Factories Act and State Rules

The Factories Act and the respective state rules must be consulted regarding the appointment of a Safety Officer and a Welfare Officer.

MP Factories Rules 1962

As per the MP Factories Rules 1962, there is no requirement for the ratification of appointments as long as the appointment meets the mandatory conditions specified therein. If any relaxation is needed, the Chief Factory Inspector must be approached for an exemption in this regard.

There is no prescribed format for intimation regarding the appointment. Please refer to the applicable rules.

Dear KK!HR,

It might be the case in MP factories' rules, which is why I have stated that the state rules have to be followed. Respective state rules and amendments are always applicable. D.P. Gunturi is from Bangalore, and Karnataka rules need to be checked.
