Imagine a company named "SafeTextiles Pvt. Ltd." operating a manufacturing unit in Mumbai, India. The company must comply with various regulations, including those related to labor welfare, working conditions, and safety. The Factories Act, 1948 is one such regulation that applies to them since it extends to the whole of India, including Mumbai. The Act was established to safeguard workers and ensure their rights in industrial settings. Since it came into force on April 1, 1949, SafeTextiles Pvt. Ltd., like all other factories in India, is legally bound to follow the provisions of this Act to provide a safe working environment for its employees.
