The document discusses various provisions in the Factories Act of 1948 regarding efficiency of workers and their working hours. It summarizes sections 51-66 which specify rules such as: no more than 48 working hours per week for adults, one day of weekly holiday, daily work hours not exceeding 9 with intervals for rest, night shifts counting as a full holiday, double wages for overtime, and restrictions on women working between 6am-7pm or more than 9 hours a day. The purpose of the act is to prevent inefficiency from continuous long work hours while allowing flexibility for exceptional workload.

2. Efficiency of workers while working in establishment depends
upon -
• working hours
• Leave with workers
• Special relief
Efficiency of workers while working in factories depends
upon working hours because they feel satisfaction if working
hours are prescribed. But on the other hand workers feel
dissatisfaction if they perform continuous work for long time.
To avoid these strategic conditions, the factories Act 1948 was
enacted with certain provisions on this matter.
