OSH & FIRE SAFETY

Occupational Health and Safety is a major concern in the industrial zone in Bangladesh. Thousands of workers suffer every year because of unawareness and unsafe environmental conditions in the factories. Employers should show strong leadership and commitment to the OSH requirements pursuant to national laws and regulations. They should take proper initiatives in the establishment of an OSH management system in the workplace. The BLF programme on Safety and Health at Work and the Environment aims to create awareness of the dimensions and consequences of work-related accidents, injuries and diseases. Our goal is to place the health and safety of all workers and to stimulate and support practical action at all levels. We empower stakeholders towards strong international health and safety standards and workers’ rights to know about hazards, refuse or stop unsafe work and participate in health and safety decision making.
