 If you mean the Indian Factories Act, 1948 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH & WC) Code, 2020, here is the key comparison:

Factories Act, 1948

The Act provided the framework for health, safety and welfare of workers in factories. Important provisions included:

First-aid — Section 45

Canteens — Section 46

Shelters/rest rooms/lunch rooms — Section 47

Creches — Section 48

Welfare officers — Section 49

Safety officers — Section 40B

Occupational-health surveys — Section 91A

Controls for machinery, hazardous processes, chemicals, fire, ventilation, dust/fumes, PPE, etc. 

OSH & WC Code, 2020

The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 consolidates and amends laws relating to occupational safety, health and working conditions. India Code records its enforcement date as 21 November 2025. 

Key provisions include:

Section 22: Safety committees and safety officers

Section 23: Employer responsibility for health, safety and working conditions

Section 24: Welfare facilities

Occupational safety and health standards

Health examinations and occupational-health requirements

Provisions concerning welfare, working conditions and worker protection. 

Important change

The OSH & WC Code provides for repeal of the Factories Act, 1948, along with several other central labour laws, from the date specified under the Code's commencement provisions. 

In simple terms:

Factories Act, 1948 → factory-specific safety, health & welfare framework

OSH & WC Code, 2020 → consolidated occupational safety, health & working-conditions framework

For compliance, the applicable Central/State rules and current notifications should also be checked, because the Code operates together with rules made under it. 📝💥🌡️🚥🔥🦺⚠️⛑️🚨🚧💡✅🎯
