Amendment in Factories Act: How Does Rule 19(3) Impact Sanitary Napkin Provision for Women Employees?

Hi everyone,

Sharing with you an amendment in the Factories Act of 1948, Rule 19(3), specifically related to Sanitary Napkins for women employees.

Dear Kholaji,

Please review the attachment and provide your comments on its authenticity.

Thank you.

Hi,

As per the amendment, we have decided to provide sanitary napkins. However, the only issue we are facing is the disposal of used sanitary napkins. Could anyone share the correct method to dispose of them?

Dear Anonymous,

Used sanitary napkins should only be disposed of in biodegradable waste. You can't simply destroy or throw them here and there. To properly dispose of them, you need to use red dustbins and arrange an agreement with a local vendor who collects biodegradable waste from hospitals.
