The two-day residential training on Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) was conducted under the project โPromoting Labour Law Compliance in Bangladesh’s Tannery Industry (2026โ2027),โ funded through the International Labour Organization (ILO), with the participation of OSH Champions.
The training aimed to strengthen the knowledge and practical capacity of OSH Champions to identify workplace hazards, understand occupational risks, and promote safer working practices, particularly in the tannery industry.
Strengthening Occupational Health and Safety in the Tannery Industry
The training focused on building a deeper understanding of workplace health and safety issues and equipping participants with the knowledge and confidence to identify potential hazards and encourage safer practices in their respective factories.
Through interactive sessions and practical discussions, participants explored the importance of occupational health and safety and strengthened their ability to communicate essential safety messages to fellow workers.
Key Discussions
Building practical knowledge and awareness of occupational health and safety issues in the tannery industry
Identifying workplace hazards and understanding occupational risks
Promoting safer working practices and a stronger culture of workplace safety
Strengthening OSH Championsโ capacity to share knowledge and raise awareness among fellow workers
Encouraging factory-level initiatives to improve workplace health and safety
The learning will extend beyond the training venue. Following the sessions, OSH Champions will take their knowledge back to their respective factories and share it with fellow workers through factory-level awareness sessions. This approach aims to translate the knowledge gained during the training into practical, everyday workplace safety practices.
Participants also shared positive feedback, highlighting that the training strengthened their understanding of OSH issues and improved their ability to communicate and share their learning with other workers at the factory level.
Through this initiative, BLF and Mondiaal FNV reaffirm their commitment to strengthening occupational health and safety awareness and promoting safer working environments in Bangladeshโs tannery industry.
