CHAPTER-IV
LABOUR BUREAU
The Labour Bureau is the ‘Research and Statistics Wing’ of the

Ministry of Labour & Employment. The Bureau assists the Ministry
in the formulation and implementation of Labour Policies and
Programmes by providing the necessary facts and figures relating to
important aspects of Labour such as prices, wages, employment,
industrial relations, etc. The Bureau collects Labour statistics both
on statutory and voluntary basis. The statistics collected on
statutory basis, inter-alia, relate to employment, wages industrial
injuries, etc. in registered factories; plantations measuring five
hectares or more; shops and commercial establishments in certain
notified urban areas; and motor transport undertakings, etc. in the
States/Union Territories in the country. The statistics collected on
voluntary basis relate to industrial relations which covers industrial
disputes, closures, lay offs and retrenchments. In addition to the
regular collection of statistics on statutory and voluntary basis the
Bureau collects important statistics relating to wages, working and
living conditions, income and expenditure, etc. required by the
Ministry of Labour & Employment and other Ministries like the
Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Finance, etc. through sample
surveys. These include Socio-economic Survey on Different
Segments of Labour (i.e. studies on SC/ST workers; women workers;
workers in un-organised sector etc.), Contract Labour Surveys,
Rural Labour Enquiries, Occupational Wage Surveys etc. Besides
the reports on these surveys, the Bureau brings out the following
regular publications: -
Publications Periodicity
1. Indian Labour Journal Monthly
2. Indian Labour Year Book Annual
3. Indian Labour Statistics Annual
4. Pocket Book of Labour Statistics Annual
5. Labour Statistics under the Annual Annual

Survey of Industries
- 101 -
Apart from the regular publications mentioned above, the
Bureau also brings out on a regular basis, reports on the working of
important Labour Acts such as the Factories Act, 1948; The
Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923; the Maternity Benefit Act,
1961; the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946; the
Shops and Commercial Establishment Acts; the Plantations Labour
Act, 1951 etc.
The Compilation and publication of Consumer Price Index
Numbers for (a) Industrial Workers in 76 selected centers and (b)
Agricultural/Rural Labourers in 20 States/Union Territories is one of
the most important functions of the Labour Bureau. Being the
competent authority under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, Director
General, Labour Bureau ascertains, from time to time, the Consumer
Price Index Numbers applicable to the employees engaged in the
scheduled employments in respect of the undertakings in the
Central Sphere and the Union Territories.
As availability of up-to-date and adequate Labour statistics is
a pre-requisite for the formulation of sound Labour policies and
programmes, the Bureau pays special attention to the task of
ensuring the desired level of quality in the statistics received from
the States/Union territories. In order to achieve this aim, the
Bureau imparts training to the officials concerned with Labour
statistics in the Labour Departments both at the center and in the
States on all the aspects relating to the collection, scrutiny and
consolidation of statistics from the primary units (factories and
plantations). The Bureau also organizes training programmes for
Price Supervisors/Price Collectors from different parts of the
country, as they are the primary workers who feed the Labour
Bureau with the basic statistics of consumer prices. The Bureau
also renders necessary assistance to the States for conducting
training programmes in Labour Statistics at State/District/Unit level.
Keeping pace with the advancement and to facilitate the quicker
processing of huge amount of data, the Organisation has acquired a
number of Personal Computers and Servers and one multi-user
system (UNIX) with the requisite peripherals. Scheme-specific soft-
wares have been developed/ are being developed to further expedite
the processing of data. It is also proposed to establish Labour Net-
working during the Tenth Plan for quicker retrieval/dissemination of
- 102 -
data. Bureau has created in-house printing facility which has
reduced the time involved in printing of reports to a considerable
extent. Now it takes only 1-3 month(s) in the printing of
reports/publications. New initiatives with the aim to improve
timeliness, quality, reliability and adequacy of Labour and
Employment Statistics in the Central/State sphere have also been
included in the Tenth Plan.
The two main wings of the Labour Bureau are located at
Chandigarh and Shimla. For the purpose of effective co-ordination
of the Bureau’s activities in the filed, especially those relating to
the collection of reliable price statistics required for the
compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers, the Bureau has set
up Regional Offices (each under the charge of one Assistant
Director) at Ahmedabad (with a sub-regional office at Mumbai),
Kolkata, Kanpur and Chennai.

workers employed in mines are the concern of the Central
Government (Entry 55 – Union List – Article 246). The
objective is regulated by the Mines Act, 1952 and the Rules
and Regulations framed there under. These are administered
by the Directorate-General of Mines Safety (DGMS), under the
Union Ministry of Labour. Apart from administering the Mines
Act and the subordinate legislation there under, DGMS also
administers a few other allied legislation, including the Indian
Electricity Act.
1.2 Officers appointed to different technical posts in DGMS are

selected by U.P.S.C. They are required to have degree in

years of experience, varying from seven to ten years of
working in responsible capacity in mines or allied industry.
Besides, officers of mining cadre posses first Class Mine
Manager’s Certificate of Competency. The Occupational
Health cadre is manned by qualified and experienced medical
personnel. Due to the nature of work performed by the
officers of DGMS, the Government of India declared this
organisation as “S&T Institution” on the recommendation of
Science and Technology Department of Government of India,
in November, 1987.
1.3 The Organisation has its headquarters at Dhanbad (Jharkhand)

and is headed by the Director- General of Mines Safety. At the
headquarter, the Director-General is assisted by specialist
staff-officers in mining, electrical & mechanical engineering,
occupational health, law, survey, statistics, administration
and accounts disciplines. The headquarters has also a
technical library and S&T laboratories as a back-up support to
the organisation.
- 109 -
1.4 The field organisation has a two-tier network of field offices.
The entire country is divided into six zones, each under the
charge of a Deputy Director-General. There are three to four
Regional offices under each zonal office. Each Region is under
the charge of a Director of Mines Safety. There are in all 21
such Regional Offices. Sub-regional offices have been set up
in important areas of concentrated mining activities away
from Regional offices. There are five such sub-regional
offices, each under the charge of a Deputy Director. Each
Zone, besides having inspecting officers of mining cadre has
officers in electrical & mechanical engineering and
occupational health disciplines.
2.0 ROLE AND FUNCTION OF DGMS:
2.1 Mission of DGMS:
The mission of DGMS is the reduction in risk of occupational

diseases and casualty to persons employed in mines, by
drafting appropriate legislation and setting standards, by
overseeing compliance thereof and through a variety of
promotional initiatives and awareness programmes creating
an environment in which safety is given due priority.
2.2 Vision of DGMS:
The vision of DGMS is “To ensure nationally acceptable and

internationally competitive standards of health, safety and
welfare for employees of the Indian mines”.

2. workers’ participation in safety management
through:-
 workmen’s inspector
 safety committee
 tripartite reviews
3. MEASURES TO IMPROVE SAFETY IN MINES:
3.1 Legislative Measures

3.1.1 Inspection:
Since mining is beset with many inherent hazards, detailed
precautions have been laid down in the Mines Act and the
Rules and Regulations framed there under to guard against
dangers in mines and it is the responsibility of the mine
management to comply with the same. While the onus of
providing for and ensuring safety in mines rests fundamentally
with the mine managements, as clearly laid down under
Section 18 of the Mines Act, 1952 as “The owner and agent of
every mine shall each be responsible for making financial and
other provisions and for taking other such steps as may be
necessary for compliance with the provisions of this Act and
regulations, rules, bye-laws and others made there under”. The
DGMS has the responsibility to see that the safety statute is
- 111 -
kept updated to absorb the technical advancements as well as
to make the same comprehensive, practicable and legally
sound and also to carry out periodic inspection of mines to
oversee compliance of safety laws. The Mines Act and the
subordinate legislations framed there under are periodically
updated for the purpose. Each and every accident involving
fatality is enquired into by an officer or a team of officers of
DGMS. A few accidents involving serious bodily injury and
most of the important dangerous occurrences are also
investigated by DGMS Officers.
Action taken subsequent to inspections:

 Pointing out contraventions.
 Withdrawal of permission.
 Issue of improvement notices.
 Prohibition of employment.
 Informal stoppages.
 Prosecution in the court of law.
3.1.2 Enquiry into Accidents, Dangerous Occurrences etc.:
All fatal accidents are required to be enquired into by DGMS

within 2 months. Apart from the incidents mentioned above,
the officers also enquire into complaints connected with the
safety and welfare of the persons connected with mining
which are received from various sources. Being concerned
with safety, normally, even anonymous complaints are
enquired into.
Following actions are taken after an enquiry:

• Warning to delinquent;
• Suspension of certificate;
• Modification in the method of working;
• Action by management like stoppage of increment,
dismissal from service, recorded warning, withholding
promotion; and
• Prosecution in the court of law.
Go to Top
- 112 -
3.1.3 Permission, Exemption and Relaxation:
DGMS is keeping a constant vigil on the method of extraction

of minerals, supports of the workings, working environment
and safe code of practices to ensure that mine workers are
not exposed to dangers and dangerous environments while
working in belowground, opencast or any surface operations.
Permissions, exemptions, relaxations and associated orders
are regularly granted by this Directorate to the mine operators
under various provisions of the statute. Whenever a new
technology is planned to be introduced in the mines, the
officers of this Directorate are required to scrutinize the
proposal to assess its efficacy and safety perspective. The
technology is either directly permitted to be introduced or
modified to suit Indian Environment. The workings in the mine
are regularly checked by field officers during the course of
their inspection and enquiries. If the conditions of workings
and manner of extraction are found unsafe and not carried out
as per the permissions granted, the permissions are
immediately revoked.
3.1.4 Approval and Testing:
Mining is a hazardous occupation and therefore the

equipment, machinery, tools and material used in mines
required to be safe, robust and reliable capable of working
safely under hostile environment. The equipment needs to
remain safe under prolonged usage even in adverse condition.
The objective of granting approval to various equipments for
use in mines is to primarily fulfill the statutory obligation
enshrined under different provisions of Coal Mines
Regulations, 1957, Metalliferrous Mines Regulations, 1961, Oil
Mines Regulations, 1984, Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 and
Mines Rescue Rules, 1985 besides statutory notification under
these regulations by the competent authority from time to
time. Approvals are granted in two phases namely (i) approval
for field-trials; and (ii) Regular approval.
Go to Top
- 113 -
3.2 DEVELOPMENTAL MEASURES:
3.2.1 Standard Setting:
Based on the experiences, the developmental initiatives

undertaken by DGMS are:-
i. Amendment of safety laws;
ii. Issue of guidelines for safer operations in identified
thrust areas through circulars; and
iii. Issue of technical instructions to DGMS officers for
their guidance.
Standard setting is a complex process consisting of

translation of the vast experience of DGMS and multilevel
interaction. Results of inspections and analysis of accident
enquiries, recommendations of courts of enquiries and safety
conferences, results of research & development activities, ILO
guidelines and international state-of-the-art technology and its
safety ramifications are some of the inputs going into standard
setting. Amendment of statutes is an elaborate process
wherein all the likely affected parties viz. Labour,
Management, Academicians, Research Institutes, Professional
Bodies are given adequate opportunities to send their
comments, which in turn are considered before finalizing the
amendment.
3.2.2 Conduct of Examinations and Award of Statutory Certificates

of Competency:
Mining is a war against unpredictable forces of nature

and since conditions of workings go on changing moment to
moment, man at the spot has to take instantaneous decisions.
Practical and on the spot decision of the front-line supervisor
and managerial executive is of paramount importance to save
life. To examine the competency of persons eligible for
manning such posts and to grant certificate of competency,
two Boards of Mining Examination - one for Coal and the other
for Metalliferrous Mines, function under the Chairmanship of
the Director-General of Mines Safety.
Go to Top
- 114 -
Competency examinations are different from university
examinations. In this Examination, stress is laid on practical
aspect of managing/supervising a mine/district apart from his
theoretical knowledge. The competency examination for
Managers, Assistant Managers, surveyors and Overman are
conducted once in a year separately for Coal and
Metalliferrous mines.
3.3 PROMOTIONAL INITIATIVES:

3.3.1 Conference on Safety in Mines
The Conference on Safety in Mines is a tripartite forum at the

national level in which the employers’ representatives, the
trade unions’ representatives, the Government represented by
Ministry of Labour & Employment, DGMS, various
administrative Ministries/Departments and State Governments
and associated institutions, professional bodies, service
associations, etc. take part. They review the status of safety
in mining and the adequacy of existing measures in a spirit of
mutual cooperation. The Conference also suggests measures
for further improvement in safety, welfare and health of mine
workers. The Ninth Conference was held on 2 nd to 3rd
February, 2000 at New Delhi. A number of recommendations
of theses Conferences have been given statutory backing and
most of the others absorbed in management practices and
policies.
3.3.2 National Safety Awards (Mines)

Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India
instituted National Safety Awards (Mines) in 1983 (for the
contest year 1982) with a view to promote a competitive spirit
amongst mine operators for the betterment of safety
standards in mines and to give due recognition to outstanding
safety performance at national level. This award is given
away by the Hon’ble President of India every year and has
generated considerable enthusiasm amongst the Mining
community. National Safety Awards (Mines) for the year 1997
and 1998 was given away on 22nd February, 2000; for the year
1999 was given on 28th March, 2001 and for the year 2000 was
given on 27th March, 2002. Go to Top
- 115 -
3.3.3 Observance of Safety Week, Safety Campaign etc.
During the safety week held every year in different mining

fields, efforts are made through various audio-visual means, to
inculcate safety consciousness amongst workers, supervisors
and others so as to influence their behaviour at work. Further,
by holding competition amongst various participating mines an
attempt is made to improve the working conditions. In all 51
nos. of safety weeks were observed during the year 2000; 52
in 2001 and 53 in 2002 in different regions spread over the
country covering all types of mines. Based on the accident
experience, special safety drives are sometimes launched to
focus attention on specific cause-groups.
3.3.4 Holding of First-aid and Rescue Competitions etc.

Unfortunately inspite of all-round efforts by everybody
accidents continue to occur. To mitigate the consequences of
such occurrences, speedy and timely rescue and rendering of
first-aid assumes great importance. Recognising the
importance of preparedness, speed and efficiency in first-aid
and rescue, competitions are held to bring improvement in
these services. First Aid and Rescue Competitions are held
under the aegis of DGMS in a number of mining companies.
Twenty-one such competitions were held in the year 2000,
2001 and 2002 of which six were of national level. These keep
the rescue workers and first-aids in battle ready conditions.
The officers of DGMS actively associated themselves with
these competitions.
3.3.5 Promoting Participation of Workers in Safety

Management
Much greater strides in safety can be achieved by
participation of workmen in safety programme; the twin
institutions of ‘Safety Committee & Workmen’s Inspector’ have
been conceived and even given the statutory backing.
Several training programmes of Workmen’s Inspectors have
been organized in last three years by different Institutions to
make them effective in discharge of their duties. DGMS
- 116 -
officers are closely associated with the training programme
and deliver lectures of different topics.
3.3.6 Awareness and information Dissemination
Officers of DGMS serve as guest faculties at several short

term safety courses organized by the Mine Managements,
Institute for Miners & Metal Workers’ Education and Scientific
and Academic Institutions. The Officers also participate in
various technical workshops, seminars, symposium and
conferences and present technical papers relevant to their
field of work. At all these forums they strive to spread the
message of safety in right perspective.
Another piece of information, which is widely disseminated

and extensively made use of, relates to accident statistics and
analysis thereof. The DGMS also publishes the following:
(a) DGMS Annual Report – Annually

(b) Statistics of Mines in India Vol.I (Coal) – Annually
(c) Statistics of Mines in India Vol.II (Non-Coal)-Annually
(d) Monthly Coal Bulletin – Monthly
(e) Monthly Review of Accidents – Monthly
3.3.7 Interactions & Advisory Role
One of the measures to promote the cause of safety is inter-

action with mine operators, workers’ representatives,
teaching and research institutions etc. Director-General or a
person nominated by him used to participate several important
organizations/committees meetings. Director-General or other
officers of DGMS being the Chairman/Member of these bodies
are able to influence the policies and programme with a view
to promote safety, welfare and health of workmen employed in
mines.
4.0 ENHANCEMENT OF SKILL OF DGMS OFFICERS:
To keep pace with the ever-changing scenario of the mining

world, it is essential to upgrade the knowledge/ information
base of front line Inspecting Officers and provide them with
- 117 -
affective tools in terms of technical instructions/ guidelines.
The specialist officers’ assigned tasks for bringing out desired
instruction etc. at an appropriate time calls for
conceptualizing & forecasting the problems in advance.
Therefore, periodic enhancement/ upgradation of skill is a
dynamic activity. DGMS attempts to enhance skill through
activities like deputing officers for different training
courses/seminars/symposium/workshops organized within the
country and abroad. Recognising that training and retraining is
an essential element to update knowledge. It is worthwhile to
mention here that the HRD wing of DGMS is continuously
putting its effort to update the technical knowledge of
inspecting officers and key officials of the mining industry, by
organizing different workshops/training courses etc. During
last three years, DGMS conducted more than 40 such
workshops/ training courses.
5.0 CENTENARY CELEBRATION:

Directorate General of Mines Safety had completed its
100 years of service to the nation on 7th January 2002. During
