Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the industrial accident in readymade garments (RMG) industries and find out the ways how this risk of injuries and accidents can be mitigating by implementing safety rules and suggestions. The paper discusses in brief the risk of injury and accidental causes of workers in various sections like dyeing, cutting, sewing, printing and finishing of RMG industries based upon the industrial environment and working conditions. The sample respondents are selected from the different industries in Tangail district. Purposive sampling technique is followed for data collection, where different level of respondents is interviewed for collecting information from selective garments industry. After analyzing the collected data, the major accidental causes and injuries faced by the workers in those selective units are indicated for which there have been noticed a massive fall down of workers’ efficiency. Indicating those problems, improvement proposals are given to those industries and implemented over a course of month. From the proposed improvement proposal, it is found that, the rate of injury and accidental risks have been decreased far better than before and almost all risks can be properly controlled if the managing as well as responsible parties try to follow the risk controlling technique properly.
