State of Health and Safety Compliance in the Readymade Garments Industries: An Evaluative Study

Health and safety (H&S) compliance should be the first and foremost issue to be considered by the readymade garment (RMG) organisations with the fullest sincerity to maintain a secure work life of the workers. The main objective of this paper is to study the status of H&S compliance by reviewing the degree H&S determining factors with reference to the selected RMG factories. This study is mainly based on primary data collection from 100 workers of five selected RMGs through a formal questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was Likerttype scale in nature. The findings of the study have marked that barely any worker has strongly agreed with the H&S compliance practices of RMG organisations, and the need and scope to modernise the H&S practices along with the line of H&S process are recommended here in detail. H&S should be considered as a right for every human being, and the stakeholders of the H&S compliance should work on a long way in conceptualising and actualising appropriate practices.
