OSH Code 2020 Compliance Software
The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 consolidated thirteen separate statutes — the Factories Act 1948, the Mines Act 1952, the Building and Other Construction Workers Act 1996 and the Contract Labour Act 1970 among them — into a single framework. For most plants, the practical consequence is that safety records which used to live in four different registers now need to tell one coherent story.
What changed, and why paper registers struggle
Consolidation did not reduce the amount of evidence a plant has to produce. It changed who asks for it and in what shape. A single inspection can now span hazardous-work authorisation, contractor records, inspection history and training in one visit.
A permit book, a contractor register and a training file maintained separately can each be perfectly complete and still fail to demonstrate the connection between them — that the contractor doing hot work on Tuesday was trained, inducted and authorised.
Authorisation for hazardous work, recorded properly
Indian regulation requires structured authorisation before hazardous work. EZEE Portal issues that authorisation through defined permit types with mandatory signed stages, so the evidence is produced as a by-product of doing the work rather than reconstructed afterwards.
- Nine standard permit types covering the common hazardous activities
- Per-stage digital signatures against named users
- Gas testing and EHS review enforced on high-risk work
- Timestamped audit trail from raise through closure
- Retained, searchable records instead of physical permit books
Contractors are people your gate already knows
Contractor labour is where consolidated compliance most often breaks down, because the permit system and the gate register are usually different systems owned by different departments. EZEE Portal runs permit-to-work, visitor management and vehicle entry on one platform, so the contractor being permitted and the contractor being checked in are the same record.
Inspections, incidents and training in the same platform
The safety module carries incident reporting, inspections, observations, audits, PPE tracking and training records. When an inspection spans several of those areas, they are already connected rather than requiring three exports and a spreadsheet.
A note on what software can and cannot do
No software makes a plant compliant. Statutory obligations rest with the occupier and the manager, and certification or inspection outcomes depend on what actually happens on the floor. What a system like this does is make the evidence of good practice reliable, retrievable and hard to lose — which is usually the difference between a straightforward inspection and a difficult one.
Try it on your own site
A self-service trial provisions a working tenant with the standard catalogue already loaded, so you can run a real process rather than watch a demo.

Does this software make our plant OSH Code compliant?
No software can do that. Statutory obligations rest with the occupier and manager. What the platform does is produce and retain the records that demonstrate hazardous work was properly authorised, monitored and closed, in a form that can be retrieved during an inspection.
Which statutes did the OSH Code consolidate?
Thirteen, including the Factories Act 1948, the Mines Act 1952, the Building and Other Construction Workers Act 1996 and the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970.
Does it cover contractor workers as well as employees?
Yes. Permit-to-work, visitor management and vehicle entry run on the same platform, so contractor authorisation and contractor site access share one record rather than living in separate systems.
How long are permit records retained?
Records are retained in your own dedicated database and remain searchable. Retention is not limited by the physical life of a permit book.
