4. Although Preliminary Assessments have been successfully completed, this is not sufficient to secure improvement in the safety of the working environment. This is a repeat of lesson learnt in the mid-term evaluation of the RMGP. With only 14% of remediation work started in NI factories compared to 70% completed in the Accord factories, it is clear that without quick follow up on DEA and CAPs the momentum will be lost. A clear system of monitoring, penalties and the strict application of such needs to be implemented alongside encouragement of self-compliance, as factory owners have a limited understanding of the productivity benefits of worker safety. A key component also needs to be the follow through with financial assistance to support smaller NI factories in completing remediation work.
