Form 7 is a critical document mandated under the Factories Act, 1948, and Maharashtra Factories Rules, 1963. For every manufacturing unit, ensuring employee health compliance isn’t optional it’s the law.
Key Points :
What is Form 7? Form 7 is an official medical examination report issued by a government-approved certifying surgeon after assessing the health of factory workers. It is a mandatory document for regulatory compliance.
Why is Form 7 Important? It ensures that employees are medically fit to handle specific job roles and manufacturing processes. It also safeguards companies from legal risks, penalties, and possible factory shutdowns.
When and How Should it be Issued? Form 7 must be issued:
During pre-employment medical checks
Annually for workers exposed to hazardous processes
After any major workplace health incident
Challenges Companies Face: Delays in obtaining Form 7, lack of coordination with government-certified surgeons, non-standardized medical tests, and improper record maintenance.
