Uttar Pradesh Approves New Workplace Safety Rules

The Uttar Pradesh government has created new rules for private-sector workplaces.

These rules are meant to make jobs safer and healthier.

Companies with at least 10 workers must give employees appointment letters.

These letters show that the workers officially have jobs.

Workers must also get a free health check-up every year.

Some workplaces will need to provide canteens and rooms for resting.

The rules also explain how night shifts should be managed safely.

The government said the changes respond to concerns about workplace conditions.

Workers in places such as Noida have recently protested over low pay and alleged unfair practices.
