Dear Junior

I recently ran a search into the H&S legislation for India as we have several offices spread from North to South and found http://business.gov.in/legal_aspects/occupational.php a useful website. I cannot guarantee the information there is correct but it appears a trustworthy site and gave me some pointers and also leads on to more sources of information.

I found it difficult to create a definitive list for my purposes but good luck with yours.

About other requirements, these can be customer specific requirements and if you are operating within any industrial area / zone, you automatically become a member of such industrial area association, and therefore have to abide by the requirements of that industrial area association. Any such environmental requirements that the association stipulates must be also a part of your EMS.
Ex: Where we operate, our association has made a rule that no industry will let any water flow into the storm water drain apart from the rain water.
Well, it sounds ok, but in case of say., a STP overflow, then the impact is not only contamination of land, but also is a legal issue. Hence you need to look well and deep into your emergency situations and establish mitigation methods.
