The employer's safety duties under the OSH Code, kept on record.
In India, the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 sets the employer's safety duties; the labour codes are in force from 21 November 2025. The Code replaced the Factories Act, 1948. Teamnet EHS keeps a record for each duty, site by site.
The OSH Code sets the employer's safety duties, each with its own record and date.
Each duty in plain words, with the record Teamnet keeps for it and the date it falls due.
