According to the Factories Act, 1948, provisions have been laid down regarding the health, safety, and welfare of workers employed in factories.

Section 16 of the Act specifically deals with overcrowding in factories. It states that no room in any factory shall be overcrowded to an extent injurious to the health of the workers employed therein.

The Act prescribes that for every worker employed, there should be at least 13.2 cubic metres of space in the workroom. This ensures proper ventilation and reduces the risk of health hazards due to overcrowding.

Therefore, the minimum space required under the Act is 13.2 cubic metre per worker.
