Under The Factories Act, 1948, if a Factory Manager is absent, who is legally responsible for compliance?

​If the Factory Manager is absent, the responsibility for compliance under Section 7 of The Factories Act, 1948 lies with the Occupier,  the person with overall control of the factory. If the Occupier has appointed someone else to act as the Manager and informed the authorities, that person becomes responsible.

In short:

• Primary Responsibility: Occupier
• Secondary Responsibility: Designated person acting as Manager (if notified)
