Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To prepare an inspection request, prepare workplace and activity details, specific hazards and incidents, photos or monitoring data, prior internal complaints and controls, confirm the current process with the responsible labour office, Department of Labour and Occupational Safety or OSH Center, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Workers, employers and institutions seeking official safety assessment
- Applicants who need to prepare an inspection request using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Worker, employer, union, supplier or authorized representative identity
- □ workplace and activity details
- □ specific hazards and incidents
- □ photos or monitoring data
- □ prior internal complaints and controls
- □ Official contract, ILMIS, labour office, safety or complaint reference
- □ Official wage, settlement, licence or service receipt when applicable
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the responsible labour office, Department of Labour and Occupational Safety or OSH Center is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across workplace and activity details, specific hazards and incidents, photos or monitoring data, prior internal complaints and controls.
- Describe the hazard and urgency clearly, use the official service or labour office, protect whistleblowers and evidence, and follow corrective recommendations.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched workplace and activity details, specific hazards and incidents, photos or monitoring data, prior internal complaints and controls
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Workers should not enter danger solely to collect evidence, and employers should not hide or temporarily stage conditions.
Confirm the current Labour Act, rules, wage notice and occupational safety requirement
