Legal Commentary & Landmark Judgments: Section 110
Section 110 of the Code empowers the appropriate Government to mandate safety and health audits for designated classes of establishments, requiring independent evaluation of safety management systems by certified external safety auditors.
Procure safety audit services exclusively from auditors accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) or Directorate General of Factory Advice Service and Labour Institutes (DGFASLI), ensuring the scope covers both process safety and fire hydraulics.
