Gujarat Factories Rules, 1963 - Forms (Part 2)

Gujarat Factories Rules is a vast document that furnishes guidelines for the factory owners or employers in order to take care of the general well-being of the workers when they are at work. We have observed how the minimum wages, the hours of work, the safety rules, and facilities like washrooms and lunchrooms have to be taken care of by the employers.

The document is a guidebook that addresses employers from diverse industries functioning in the state of Gujarat. The industries covered under the factories' rules are textile, wood-working machinery, rubber mills, power-press, and so on.
