    New Labour Inspectors in RMG Sector

    We have come to know that as an important part of the commitment of Bangladesh government, to improve labour standards and implement national legislation 41 new labour inspectors are sending for training this week. It is also need to mention that this program is being overseen with help from the International Labour Organization (ILO).

    The new labour inspectors are being trained by the ILO and GIZ, the German Agency for development cooperation. They will work as a part of the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE).

    The key issues which is going to covered in the training are:
    • The role of labour inspectors within the framework of the Bangladesh economy and legal structure,
    • The ILO fundamental principles and rights at work,
    • Features of a credible and transparent labour inspection system,
    • Inspection techniques, and
    • National labour law
     
    According to country director Srinivas Reddy, “The new hiring is a significant milestone to reduce the risk of future tragedies in the ready-made garments sector”. Another good news is that the ILO is going to launch a Better Work Bangladesh program to provide factory-lavel services. It will include assessments of compliance with national labour laws and international standards, as well as advisory and training services to improve working conditions for garment workers.

    As we know it was a regular demand of US government so that Bangladesh should implement more effectively new inspectors for labour, Fire and as well as building inspectors also. Labour and employement secretary Mikal Shipar said, “The training of the newly recruited labour inspectors is a sign of the implementation of the commitments that the government of Bangladesh and the development partners have made to ensure safety of ready-made garments workers,”

    So obviously it will be really great if Bangladesh government keeps it up of trying to improve Bangladeshi RMG labour’s opportunities for making new image in worldwide market person acceptance.
