| The
Application for Registration or Re-registration form &
Scale of Fees |
|
| |
The application form is used to apply for registration
of a factory. Under the Factories Act (1943) all establishments
deemed as a factory are required to be registered under
the Act. The registration period lasts three years and
each owner/ manager of a factory is required to apply
for a renewal of registration before the ending of the
current registration period. A reminder will be sent
when it becomes due.
It is a breach
of The Factories Act to operate an unregistered
factory, for which substantial
penalties apply.
The registration process:
- The factory owner/ manager or person having control
of the factory obtains and completes an application
form. The form may be picked up at our offices
or downloaded by clicking here.
Ensure that the "name of factory" is the
legally registered
name of the factory (as registered with the Office
of Registrar of Companies) and please be sure that
the following sections are correctly completed: "the
name of the owner (please
view legal name)", "the nature of power
used", "type of fire warning device"
and "descriptive list of machinery".
- Based on the number of workers in the factory, the
required fee (please see scale
of fees) is to be paid at the most convenient
tax office or collectorate. (Fees
will not be accepted at any of our
offices, or by any of our officers).
- The receipt is to be attached to the completed form
and both sent in to one of our offices, most convenient
to you.
- An inspector will then visit the establishment (usually
takes approximately 1 month) if it has not been recently
visited in our routine inspections, and make an assessment
of the OSH conditions there. If satisfactory, a certificate
of registration will be issued.
