Which one of the following Labour Codes notified by the Government of India incorporated various provisions of the Central Labour Acts such as the Factories Act, 1948 and Plantations Labour Act, 1951?

The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (OSH Code) was enacted to consolidate and rationalize 13 central labour laws into a single comprehensive framework [1]. Specifically, it incorporates and replaces the Factories Act, 1948, and the Plantations Labour Act, 1951, along with other significant legislations like the Mines Act, 1952, and the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, 1979 [1]. The Code establishes uniform standards for workplace safety, health, and welfare facilities across various sectors including factories, mines, and plantations [2]. While the Code on Wages, 2019, and the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, also consolidate multiple laws, they focus on wage-related compliance and trade union disputes respectively [3]. The OSH Code specifically addresses the working conditions and safety norms previously governed by the Factories and Plantations acts [1].
