No 29, CPD Report from Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)

Abstract: Bangladesh’s readymade garments (RMG) industry has made significant improvements in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) over the last decade, especially in the years after the Rana Plaza tragedy. Despite the progress, a number of emerging concerns on industrial safety in the RMG industry raised the concern regarding the sustainability of different legal, institutional and operational measures and initiatives undertaken in the industry over the years. Hence, reviewing the existing institutional and operational functionality of different initiatives and measures to appreciate their capacity to ensure OSH and industrial safety has become imperative.
