Abstract	Abstract The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 aims to promote the welfare, health, and safety of contract labourers employed in various establishments and factories. The Act ensures that employers provide essential facilities such as clean drinking water, sanitation, restrooms, and first aid to workers. It places a duty on factories and principal employers to maintain safe working conditions and prevent accidents. In cases where injury, damage, or hazardous incidents occur due to the negligence of the factory or employer, liability is imposed on them to compensate the affected workers. The Act also regulates the employment of contract labour and seeks to abolish it in certain circumstances where exploitation is evident. Overall, the legislation was enacted by the government to improve working conditions, safeguard the rights of contract labourers, and ensure their protection and welfare in industrial environments.
