No such act has been laid down to date. Health & Safety provisions are covered in the Factory Act/Shop Act. You have to ensure that the necessary arrangements are made. There are various NOCs related to Health & Safety that you need to obtain from the respective departments, such as Fire NOC, Pollution NOC, etc.
