description:

The significant transformation in the safety culture can be attributed to a combination of regulatory initiatives, policy reforms, new structures, effective protocols, working models, and strengthened capacities of tripartite stakeholders, ultimately resulting in a safer RMG sector. As evidenced by this evaluation, the programme has contributed a significant transformation in the safety culture among the targeted BWB (and some NI) factories. Even though this transformation is not yet witnessed across all NI factories and there are several uncovered factories (1000+) which were not part of the RMGP interventions, this is still a good emerging practice of a sectoral reform model that can guide other similar interventions in other country-context by the ILO. Facilitated by the programme, the regulatory initiative of the NTPA guiding legislation and policy, and administrative measures not only facilitated the launch of the three initiatives—ISU, RSC, and Nirapon, but also guided their inspection and safety support measures. By facilitating and /or establishing these structures /institutions, the programme ensured that factories continued to make progress on their CAP. Remediation protocol also helped in this regard. Overall, a range of regulatory initiatives (NTPA, revised BLA/BLR), policy reforms (OSH policy), new structures (ISU), effective protocol (remediation), working models (Industry Safety Forum), and strengthened capacities of the tripartite (Govt, employers and workers organisations) are a profound change for the RMG sector.
