Which one of the following policy reforms implemented in late 2025 mandated safety provisions, including transport facilities, for women working night shifts in India?
Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
On 21 November 2025, the Government brought the four Labour Codes into force, including the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH) Code, 2020.
The OSH Code allows women to work in all establishments and at night (before 6 a.m. and after 7 p.m.) with their consent, subject to employers providing safety measures such as safe transport, adequate security and facilities.
The POSH Act (2013) deals with sexual harassment at the workplace; the Vishaka Guidelines were laid down by the Supreme Court in 1997; the Safe City Project is a Nirbhaya Fund urban-safety scheme, not a labour reform.
Hence, the reform was the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020.
