Notification details and the forms every employer needs, in one place.

- Status as of July 22, 2026
- Still at draft stage. No separate notification confirming final adoption has been found so far
Based on the most recent information available, no separate notification confirming that this particular draft has been finalised has surfaced yet, so it should be treated as a strong signal of what is coming rather than as a law that is already binding. Employers may come across older trackers that describe Uttarakhand as already having final OSH rules, referring to an earlier round from previous years. This May 2026 document is a fresh, updated draft meant to align the state's rules with the central government's own OSH Rules, 2026, and it is this version that is still awaiting final notification. Once the state issues that final notification, the rules will take effect from that date and will replace several older Uttarakhand rules built around the earlier Factories Act and related labour laws.
