OSH Code Non-Compliance Penalties and Victim Compensation
LOGIC Estimate: Typical occupational safety penalties in India range ₹50,000–₹5,00,000+ per violation (based on statutory fine frameworks under labour codes). Victim compensation: minimum 50% of fine. Additional legal/settlement costs: ₹1,00,000+[4].Under the new OSH Code 2020 (effective 21 Nov 2025), construction employers with 250+ workers must establish mandatory tripartite safety committees. Failure to comply incurs fines, with minimum 50% of fines awarded as victim compensation. No specific rupee amounts published yet, but state-level enforcement is escalating across Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu with 'stricter procedural standards' and 'elevated scrutiny'[1][3][6].
OSH Code Compliance Implementation Costs
LOGIC Estimate: Typical compliance overhead for construction firms: Safety Officer salary ₹5–15 lakhs/year; digital system implementation and licensing ₹2–5 lakhs one-time; annual training and audit costs ₹3–8 lakhs; contractor license verification and renewal ₹1–3 lakhs/year. Total annual cost: ₹10–50 lakhs+[3][6].Construction firms must now conduct comprehensive safety audits, establish tripartite safety committees, implement free annual health check-ups for workers, maintain updated working-conditions documentation, and ensure all contractors hold valid licenses—all on a new centralized digital registration platform[1][3][6]. Manual compliance processes require dedicated personnel, multiple training sessions, and repeated audits, creating bottlenecks and waste.
Registration and Licensing Bottleneck on Centralized Platform
LOGIC Estimate: Per project: 2–4 weeks × 50–100 worker-days × ₹500–₹1,000/day = ₹50–₹4,00,000 idle labour cost per project. For a 10–20 project firm: ₹5–80 lakhs/year in capacity loss[3].Manual review of contractor credentials, slow government platform processing, state-level rule variations, and documentation gaps cause 2–4 week delays before project mobilization. During this period, hired labour sits idle, equipment rental costs accrue, and project timelines slip, impacting revenue recognition and client relationships[3].
