DHAKA - A new report says that progress on worker safety has been slow in garment factories inspected under a joint initiative of the Bangladesh government and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
Factories covered by the Remediation Coordination Cell (RCC) have carried out less than half of the works identified as being needed to ensure that they are safe for their workers, it reveals.
The RCC was set up in 2017 by the government to oversee the safety of factories not covered by the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety, which represented European brands, or the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety, which represented those in North America.
