Respected Sir,
Will the workers in a canteen in a factory under the meaning of Factories Act 1948 come under Factories Act. I mean, whether the provisions relating to safety and occupational hazards for workmen in factories, is available for workmen in canteen also.Whether an eating place or restaurant is a factory under Factories Act.In the internet, I viewed an answer that kitchen and cooking people come under Factories Act and where as Servers/ bearers come under Shops and establishment act of states.Kindly correct me if I am wrong.
