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.

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.
