Mental Health of Factory Workers:does the Factories Act Help at All?

Author(s) Harinath S
Country India
Abstract Mental health is an increasingly important topic in today’s workplace with particular emphasis on industries where workers typically experience long work-hours; dangerous working environments; and are under severe pressures for work productivity.1 As factory employees encounter various stressors and dangers associated with their poor working conditions (and lack of informal supports) they commonly develop physical and psychological stressors, such as fatigue and/or a condition known as “burnout”.2 In India, the labour standards and regulations of factory employees are primarily regulated by the Factories Act 1948 3which was enacted to ensure employee safety; health; and welfare.
In this research article, an analysis will be done to determine if the Factories Act is effective at providing adequate protection to the mental wellbeing of Iranian factory workers. Although certain provisions in the Factories Act regulate physical safety and worker welfare, there are currently no specific provisions in the Factories Act that directly addresses the mental wellbeing of factory workers.
The paper will focus on reviewing those sections of the Factories Act that have been used by employers and administrators to support the mental well-being of factory workers. The research is intended to provide an evaluation of the three sections identified in the Factories Act and review how these sections will continue to be relevant in modern industry. The results of this research will ultimately discuss the limitations of existing labour law and recommend reforms that add mental health protections to the legislation for factory workers.
