Currently, RMG factories are being inspected by Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety, Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh and the National Initiative to improve workplace safety in the apparel industry. The tripartite inspection will end in June 2018, which started in mid-2014 to improve safety in Bangladesh RMG sector. The aim of the single platform is to bring all inspections under a common platform to avoid extra expenses, time and hassle. “Manufacturers do not want to depend on foreign initiatives for a long time for safety inspection and other related issues. That is why the committee recommended forming a single platform,” a committee member, seeking anonymity, told the Dhaka Tribune.
