Understanding Safety Officer Roles: Can One Person Fulfill Both Under Different Regulations?

pca
Friends, I am attaching a chart containing provisions relating to the appointment of a Safety Officer as per the Factories Act and also for an Electrical Safety Officer as per regulations under the Electricity Act 2003. The applicability is as follows:

a) Factories Act: 1,000 or more workers
b) CEA Safety Regulations 2010: Factory with >250 kW electrical load connected
c) CEA Regulations 2011: >500 employees (including contract workers)

While the required qualifications in (a) and (c) above are the same, in the case of (b), an electrical engineering degree holder with a minimum of 5 years of experience is required. This means that a Safety Officer appointed under the Factories Act cannot work as an Electrical Safety Officer under the 2010 regulations. Please confirm whether my understanding is correct.

Thanks

Do you have any idea on what Form I, or any of the forms, are that he needs to keep a record of?

Do those forms only apply to mines and not energy plants.
