‘Low-cost’ strategies can reduce heat stress for garment workers – study

SYDNEY – A new study led by the University of Sydney has put forward a series of recommendations which it says could offer “critical protection” to garment workers in Bangladesh and elsewhere.

Published in The Lancet Planetary Health, the study identifies “low-cost and scalable strategies” which it claims can reduce heat stress and protect worker productivity in Bangladesh’s ready-made garment (RMG) sector.
