Repairing ,overhauling & Maintenance work in your area is an engineering job in my opinion.
As per Factories Act " Factory is defined in Section 2(m) of the Act. It means any premises including the precincts thereof-
Whereon ten or more workers are working, or were working on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on with the aid of power, or is ordinarily so carried on; or
Whereon twenty or more workers are working, or were working on any day of the preceding twelvemonths, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on without the aid of power, or is ordinarily so carried on.
An important necessity for any premises to be regarded as a ‘factory’ is, that a “manufacturing process” should be conducted within the premises. According to section 2(k) defines manufacturing process as:- “Manufacturing process” means process for –(i) Making, altering, repairing, oiling, washing, cleaning, ornamenting, finishing, packing, breaking up, or otherwise treating or adapting any article or substance with a view to its use, sale transport, delivery or disposal.
