Hello!,
Section 18 says - An Apprentice is not a worker during training ( He is a on-job trainee- Practical & Theoretical so he is not entitle for ESI / PF ).
Sec-16 says health & safety is applicable - as to get compensation from employer for employment injury - as Welfare.
Still have questions - Plz feel free to write at
Thanks & Regards
