The Act casts an obligation upon every employer and organisation whether, in the private or public sector employing 10 or more persons to constitute an internal committee (ICC) for receiving complaints of sexual harassment, he said during the Question Hour.

Similarly, Yadav said the state government is authorised to constitute a local committee in every district which will receive complaints from organisations having less than 10 workers or if the complaint is against the employers.”

The minister said the central government has enacted the Factories Act 1948 which provides for the occupational safety health and welfare of workers including women workers working in factories registered under the said Act.

He said the specific provisions have been prescribed for the occupational safety of the workers at the workplace including garment factories under Chapter IV of the Factories Act 1948.
