Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) Act, 1948 alongwith Rules, 1962, Advisory Committee Rules, 1962, Safety, Health & Welfare Act, 1986, Regulation of Employment (Inapplicability of Major Ports) Act, 1997

This authoritative volume consolidates the Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) Act, 1948 and all material required for a holistic understanding and compliance: the Dock Workers Rules, 1962 (including Advisory Committee Rules), the Safety, Health & Welfare Act, 1986, and the Regulation of Employment (Inapplicability of Major Ports) Act, 1997. Presented with a user-friendly layout, the book includes the full statutory texts, schedules, and navigable headings for fast reference. Cross-references and an exhaustive index allow practitioners to trace provisions affecting recruitment, wage protection, employment conditions, social welfare measures, safety obligations, and penalties. The included Safety, Health & Welfare provisions detail employer duties and minimum standards for dock operations; the 1997 inapplicability Act clarifies the legal boundary for major ports, an essential point for port authorities and corporate counsel. This edition is tailored for courtroom citation, academic study, compliance audits and HR policy drafting — helping users interpret legal responsibilities and design workplace procedures that meet statutory obligations. Whether used by lawyers preparing pleadings, law students learning labour regulation, or port managers updating compliance manuals, this consolidated resource saves time and reduces interpretive risk by bringing the most relevant texts together in one accessible reference.
