As per Schedule 49 of Factories Act, organization should apoint Labour Welfare Officer if employees are more than :

  • A.250
  • B.750
  • C.500
  • D.1000

Answer: C

A Labour Welfare Officer is required when employees number 500 or more.

Section 49 of the Factories Act, 1948 (called Schedule 49 in the paper) requires every factory in which five hundred or more workers are ordinarily employed to appoint the prescribed number of welfare officers, whose duties and qualifications are laid down by the state government.

The other thresholds belong to different provisions or none: for example, a canteen is required where more than 250 workers are employed (Section 46), and a safety officer where 1,000 or more are employed (Section 40B).
