Hotel Park Central, Kaloor, Wednesday, 20th June 2018
The Cochin Chamber of Commerce and Industry organised a one-day Workshop on the Draft Labour Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions, 2018 on Wednesday, 20th June, 2018 for its members and industry at large.
The Workshop was led by Mr. Neeraj Dubey – Joint Partner, Corporate Advisory, Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan Attorneys, Bangalore and Ms. Akshita Alok – Senior Associate, Corporate Advisory, Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan Attorneys, Bangalore.
The Draft Labour Code was released in March 2018 by the Ministry of Labour and Employment as per the recommendation of the National Commission on Labour to simplify and amalgamate the Central Labour Laws. The various existing Acts are proposed to be subsumed in four labour codes -- on Wages, Industrial Relations, Social Security and Occupational Safety and Health and Working Conditions. The Labour Ministry had prepared a preliminary draft on Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions, 2018 by amalgamating 13 labour laws relating to safety, and health standards, health and working conditions, welfare provisions for the employees and leave and hours of work.
It was a highly interactive session wherein participants were able to get clarifications on various issues concerning their respective organisations.
Mr. V. Venugopal, Vice President of the Chamber also spoke on the occasion.
The Chamber will be organising Workshops on the other Labour Codes on Wages, Social Security and Industrial Relations in the near future.
