COLOMBO - Sri Lanka's apparel sector is working with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to improve safety in the country's garment factories.
The Better Work Sri Lanka programme of the ILO and the IFC recently concluded a three-month series of 'master trainer workshops' on occupational safety and health (OSH) in the apparel sector.
The 70 participants learned facilitation skills and techniques, communication skills, and technical aspects of OSH, including management systems, to give them the tools to become ‘industry advisors’ and establish bipartite committees within the apparel industry.
