Dear Munna Bhosale,
The services of a Medical Officer and Nurse are compulsory as per the factory rules. The requirements vary for factories employing 50 workers, 51 to 200 workers, and over 200 workers.
According to the Kerala factories rules, the requirements are as follows: One full-time factory Medical Officer for factories employing up to 500 workers, and one additional Medical Officer for every additional 1000 workers or part thereof. There should also be one nurse, one dresser cum compounder, and one sweeper cum ward boy throughout the working period.

Dear munna_bhosale,
The numbers of doctors and male nurses are according to the fact act and as per the Gujarat Factory Rules. It is applicable when the factory has hazardous processes. When considering the numbers of doctors and male nurses, we should take into account only the numbers of workers who are engaged with the hazardous process instead of all workers of the factory. Basically, the language of the Factory Act is a technical language.
Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
Thank you.

The Factories Act requires the appointment of medical and paramedical staff in the factory according to its nature and the number of employees. These days, such responsibilities are usually outsourced, although a fully equipped dispensary is maintained.

The Factories Act 1948, Section 45
[(4)] In every factory wherein more than five hundred workers are 5*[ordinarily employed], there shall be provided and maintained an ambulance room of the prescribed size, containing the prescribed equipment and in the charge of such medical and nursing staff as may be prescribed 6*[and those facilities shall always be made readily available during the working hours of the factory].
It mentions medical and nursing staff in general, but I think it does not state a binding requirement for a male nurse. The state rules (UP) do state that (Rule 67 sub-rule 2) and such subordinate staff as the Chief Inspector may direct: In this case, if the Chief Inspector directs for a male nurse, then it has to be so.
