India’s Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH) reforms represent one of the most significant shifts in workplace safety governance in decades. By consolidating multiple legacy laws into a single framework, the OSH Code aims to simplify compliance while raising expectations for how organizations protect workers.
For EHS professionals, however, the reality is more complex. While the legal framework is unified, compliance execution is fragmented across States, sites, and workforce models. Managing that complexity requires more than policy updates — it requires a system built for scale, evidence, and accountability.
This is where Benchmark Gensuite plays a critical role.
The Real Challenge of OSH Reform: Execution at Scale
Most organizations already understand the intent of the OSH Code. The challenge lies in answering practical questions such as:
- How do we track OSH compliance across multiple States with different rules?
- How do we prove compliance during inspections — quickly and confidently?
- How do we manage contractors, incidents, and corrective actions consistently?
- How do we stay audit-ready as enforcement expectations evolve?
OSH reform shifts the burden from knowing the law to demonstrating continuous compliance. Benchmark Gensuite is designed to support exactly that.
A Single System of Record for OSH Compliance in India
Benchmark Gensuite provides a unified EHS platform that allows organizations to manage OSH requirements site by site, State by State, while maintaining enterprise-wide visibility.
Jurisdiction-aware compliance management
India’s OSH compliance obligations vary based on:
- State or Union Territory
- Establishment type
- Workforce size and composition
Benchmark Gensuite enables EHS teams to:
- Scope legal and compliance obligations accurately by jurisdiction
- Track applicability, due dates, and ownership
- View compliance status across plants, regions, and the enterprise
This eliminates reliance on fragmented spreadsheets and local tracking methods that increase compliance risk.

Built-in Evidence for Inspections and Audits
OSH enforcement emphasizes proof of implementation, not just policy intent. Benchmark Gensuite centralizes compliance evidence in a secure, audit-ready environment.
EHS teams can manage:
- Inspections and risk assessments
- Training and competency records
- Equipment and facility checks
- Corrective and preventive actions
With full version control and audit trails, documentation is always inspection-ready — reducing stress and uncertainty during regulatory visits.
Incident and Corrective Action Management Aligned with OSH Expectations
Serious incidents and dangerous occurrences attract heightened regulatory scrutiny under OSH reforms. Benchmark Gensuite supports disciplined, consistent incident management.
Key capabilities include:
- Configurable incident classification aligned to regulatory definitions
- Structured investigation and root-cause analysis workflows
- End-to-end corrective action tracking with verification and closure
- Analytics to identify repeat incidents and systemic risks
This approach strengthens both regulatory defensibility and safety performance.
Contractor and Workforce Safety Governance
OSH reforms reinforce employer responsibility for contract and migrant workers — a critical issue for manufacturing, construction, and industrial operations.
Benchmark Gensuite helps organizations:
- Integrate contractor management with EHS controls
- Track training, induction, permits, PPE, and medical fitness
- Maintain visibility into contractor incidents and compliance gaps
This ensures consistent safety governance across the entire workforce, not just direct employees.

Inspection Readiness as a Continuous Capability
As OSH enforcement matures, inspections are expected to test how safety systems function in practice. Benchmark Gensuite supports proactive readiness through:
- Mobile inspections and audits (including offline capability)
- Standardized checklists aligned to safety and compliance expectations
- CAPA workflows with accountability and escalation
- Dashboards that highlight gaps before regulators identify them
Inspection readiness becomes a daily operating condition, not a last-minute response.
Why Benchmark Gensuite Fits India’s OSH Reality
India’s OSH reforms require EHS systems that can handle:
- Regulatory consolidation with local variation
- High-volume documentation and evidence management
- Multi-site and contractor-heavy operations

Turning OSH Compliance into Confidence
OSH reform is not just a regulatory change — it is a signal that EHS maturity matters. Organizations that rely on disconnected tools and manual processes will struggle to keep pace. Those that adopt an integrated, enterprise-grade EHS platform can reduce risk, improve safety outcomes, and face inspections with confidence.
