All the processes and relevant documents were made available in the public domain for information of all concerned. The establishments can now gather all the relevant information from the portals of the Labour Department and its Directorates. Massive procedural reforms and process re-engineering were made with respect to the inspections carried out under various Labour Laws, without compromising  the safety and security of  workers. Mechanism was devised by each of the participating Directorate to assess risk involved in each establishment based on a number of parameters, like number of workers, nature of business etc. Each establishment / shop / factory registered with the Labour Department is classified into three categories – HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW risk establishment on the basis of risk profile. Entire exercise in being carried out through a computerised online module. On the basis of risk profile of the establishments, the frequency of inspection is finalised. Thereafter, the inspectors are randomised and establishments allotted by means of a customised online module. The allocation is done in a manner so as to ensure that no inspector visits the same establishment twice consecutively over a specified period of time. Under the Labour Commissionerate, submission of inspection reports is done on real-time basis by means of handheld devices connected to the internet. A special provision has been for verification of approved certificates in the public domain by third parties. Anyone can now check the validity of approved certificates by furnishing a few mandatory parameters. The applicants do not need to maintain hard copies of  certificates and inspection reports any more. All these vital documents are now available on the Cloud and can be downloaded on demand. The digital footprint of the Labour Department has considerably improved with the launch of these Government–to–Business e-solutions.

Development of an application was done through which the violations of labour laws and rules detected can be captured on the spot and can be uploaded in to the system. For the purpose the inspecting officers were provided with a hand held device (tablet). There after the violations detected were locked in the system until the inspector unlocks it only after compliance of the violations .  All the violations those remain uncomplied can be printed in an auto-filled show-cause notice. There after the whole process can be forwarded to the higher authority for approval for lodging court cases or let off as the case may be. The final papers for lodging court cases can also be get printed through the system. In this way report generation on inspection are made automated. For the purpose a special mobile-app has also been developed compatible with smart phones/tablets.
