Advise on the work permits to allow the external contractors to work in factory premises such as General works, construction

Dear Seniors,

Please advise on the work permits required to allow external contractors to work on factory premises for activities such as general works, construction, tree trimming, height works, hot works, welding, grinding works, confined space working, etc.

Best Wishes,

Work permits should be issued by the concerned department that is engaging the contractor/contract labor, specifying the particular area of work and safety precautions to be taken.

From an HR perspective, it is essential to verify whether the contractor has PF & ESI codes or not. If yes, the compliance status should be checked. If not, compliance under the PE's code will be required. It is also crucial to confirm whether the minimum wages have been paid.
