Factories Act, 1948
62. Register of adult workers
(1) The manager of every factory shall maintain a register of
adult workers, to be available to the Inspector at all times during working
hours, or when any work is being carried on in the factory, showing
(a) the name of each adult worker in the
factory;
(b) the nature of his work;
(c) the group, if any, in which he is
included;
(d) where his group works on shifts, the relay
to which he is allotted; and
(e) such other particulars as may be
prescribed:
PROVIDED that, if the Inspector is of opinion that any
muster roll or register maintained as part of the routine of a factory gives in
respect of any or all the workers in the factory the particulars required under
this sections, he may, by order in writing, direct that such muster roll or
register shall to the corresponding extent be maintained in place of, and be
treated as, the register of adult workers in that factory.
7 [(1A) No adult worker shall be required or allowed to work
in any factory unless his name and other particulars have been entered in the
register of adult workers.]
(2) The State Government may prescribe the form of the register
of adult workers, the manner in which it shall be maintained and the period for
which it shall be preserved.
