Manufacturing and factories
Occupational Health Services for Factories and Manufacturing Plants
Factories carry the most defined occupational health duties in Indian law — first aid, ambulance rooms, medical examinations for hazardous processes and the registers that prove it. Plan My Health runs these for manufacturing plants of every size, from a single-shift engineering unit to a continuous-process plant.
This page covers manufacturing in general; for specific sectors see our pharma, chemical and automotive pages.
Typical exposures and health risks
Noise
Presses, compressors and machining lines cause noise-induced hearing loss. Audiometry at joining and periodically is the standard surveillance.
Machinery and manual handling
Crush, cut and amputation injuries, plus back strain from lifting. Injury registers from the clinic show where controls are failing.
Dust, fumes and chemicals
Welding fumes, metal dust and process chemicals affect lungs, skin and organs — spirometry, X-ray and blood tests are chosen by exposure.
Heat
Foundries, furnaces and poorly ventilated sheds cause heat stress; summer planning matters.
Shift work
Night shifts disrupt sleep and raise lifestyle risks; annual checkups and wellness talks address them.
Statutory medicals — general guidance
- First aid boxes in proportion to the number of workers, each in the charge of a trained person.
- An ambulance room above the headcount prescribed by state rules.
- Pre-placement and periodic medical examinations for hazardous processes, recorded in the prescribed health register.
- Consolidation of these duties under the OSH Code, 2020 as states notify their rules.
- Legal references here are general guidance. Exact requirements depend on your state factory rules, the processes you run and your headcount — we confirm the applicable rules for each site before proposing a scope.
