Factories Act 1948 Compliance Training

Program Overview

The Factories Act 1948 is the cornerstone of occupational safety, health, and welfare legislation for Indian manufacturing industries. Non-compliance exposes organizations to significant legal penalties, operational disruptions, reputational damage, and — most critically — preventable harm to workers. ICLM's Legal Compliances in Factories Act 1948 training (Course Code L1102) provides factory managers, HR professionals, compliance officers, and safety officers across manufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, engineering, food processing, automobile, and electronics industries with a thorough, practical grounding in the Act's requirements, amendments, and compliance frameworks.

This course bridges the gap between legal text and operational practice — enabling participants to implement compliant procedures confidently and manage regulatory relationships effectively.
