Dear Colleague,

1. Child Labour ( Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986:

Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 aims to eradicate any kind of child abuse in the form of employment and prohibit the engagement of children in any kind of hazardous employment, who have not completed 14 years of age. The Act prohibits the employment of children in certain occupations and processes.

2. The Factories Act 1948 :

No child below the age of 14 shall be required to, or allowed to, work in any factory. ... No child (14 years or older) shall be employed to work for more than 4.5 hours on any day. No child shall be required or allowed to work in any factory on any day on which they have already been working in another factory.

No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed in work in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment. The Factories Act of 1948: The Act prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory. The law also placed rules on who, when and how long can pre-adults aged 15–18 years be employed in any factory. The Act defines a child as a person who is below 15 years of age. ... No child (14 years or older) shall be employed to work for more than 4.5 hours on any day. No child shall be required or allowed to work in any factory on any day on which they have already been working in another factory.

The Factories Act 1948: 2. Interpretation.—In this Act, unless there is anything repugnant in the subject or context,—
(a) “adult” means a person who has completed his eighteenth year of age;
(b) “adolescent” means a person who has completed his fifteenth year of age but has not completed his eighteenth year;
(d) “young person” means a person who is either a child or an adolescent;

In such situation it is to be understood that if we employ any child labour it will attract very heavy penal provisions. Only Adults are to work in Factories in general and young persons with lot of restrictive clauses.

When some one whether a visitor or some one below 18 years is allowed to enter the Factory and in case of accidents if any unfortunately lot of procedural difficulties will be faced by the Factory Management to prove that such person was only VISITOR and NOT EMPLOYEE . Further to many more practical complications over and above the usual procedures in case of non-adult entering into a factory. This is the practical reason for not allowing anyone below 18 years into the Factor Premises. It is always a best practice to be very strict on this for many practical reasons.
