Need Help Understanding Maharashtra Factory Law for Notice Display in Rubber Factories?

Dear Expert,

I am seeking guidance regarding the abstract of Maharashtra State Factory Law and the requirements for notice display at a rubber factory. My past experience is primarily in the construction sector, which leaves me with limited knowledge of factory law. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide. I am currently located in Kolkata, India.

The Maharashtra Factories Rules, 1963, along with the Factories Act, 1948, provide a comprehensive framework for the display of notices and abstracts in factories. Here are the key requirements for your rubber factory:

1. Abstract of Factories Act and Rules: An abstract of the Factories Act, 1948 and the Maharashtra Factories Rules, 1963 must be displayed in English and in the local language at a place where it can be easily read by the employees. The abstract should be prepared in Form No. 1 as per Rule 3 of the Maharashtra Factories Rules, 1963.

2. Notice of Periods of Work: As per Rule 25, you must display and correctly maintain in the factory, a notice of periods of work in Form No. 11 for all categories of workers.

3. Health and Safety Policy: If your factory employs more than 50 workers, as per Rule 73-Q, you must display your Health and Safety Policy.

4. Additional Notices: Other notices that need to be displayed include a notice about prohibition of smoking in the factory (Rule 79), notice about first-aid boxes (Rule 65), and notice regarding drinking water (Rule 77).

Remember to keep all notices up-to-date and easily readable. Non-compliance with these requirements can lead to penalties under the Act.

For a complete understanding, you may refer to the Factories Act, 1948 and Maharashtra Factories Rules, 1963. You can find a copy of the Act and the rules online at http://www.mahashramm.gov.in/mahaFactoriesRules1963.php

Please ensure you consult with a local legal expert or HR consultant to comply fully with all the requirements.
