me shooting off the edge of the ah dozens are killed in the container depot explosion in bangladesh. it's the latest incident to target debate, all the countries for industrial safety standards, so as in not being done to protect workers. this is the inside story.

ah hello and welcome to the program. i am hashem aha butter. unfortunately, industrial accidents are to come on in bangladesh. in the latest incident, dozens of people were killed in a fire explosion at a container port near the city of chatter, graham hundreds were seriously wounded, doctor se most people died in the explosion of from inhaling toxic fumes fire fighters believe a container of chemicals may have caused the blaze, special branch of the military has been called in to help with the salvage operation than we should re, has more from the capital decor, rescue and salvage. yeah. parisian is still continuing by the fire prices have been

held by spatial unit of the army, and he is still not clearly out of danger. many of the container still as films on small wires, they're worried that many of the comes enough to have play mobile semi goes. so this is a danger zone. hospitals are over and why many of the injured have been brought to the capital city of dhaka. now the government has announced a compensation package for the injured victim and those who died for their families, the prime minister and the precedents and their condolence to the families, bangladesh. as we know, the history of industrial accidents in 2013 ron plaza, industrial accidents much have been improved in this country, especially in the textile and garments sector, but much needs to be improved in other sector. it's a growing economy with many industries coming out, the fire fighting a coup. mims are not up to the time. it has to deal with high rise building chemical industries and many other sophisticated investors that growing around different parts of the country. now we know there's a limited resource. there is

a lack of fire fighting equipment in many places. there is lack of enforcement expert. i have one that in the off time bung with those 5 fighting unit needs to be trained better and better to cure the most important part. they must be able to enforce this laws in the factories and other places. those are clearly in danger of accidents and fire sandwich ah the for insights. so let's take a quick look at major industrial accidents in bangladesh. during the last decade, in 2012, 117 workers died were locked, exit doors dropped them in a garment that factory on fire in the capital darker. 5 months later, the countries suffered its worst industrial disaster. when the run up floods or clothing factory collapse, more than a i was and a 100 people were killed in 2019 a blaze swept through an area crowned with apartments,

shops and warehouses in the oldest part of decor, killing at least 70 people. and $52.00 people died last june when a fire destroyed a foot and drink factory. many were trapped inside by a door that was illegally locked bangladesh recently held is 1st industrial safety forum where the international labor organization, their disgust developing a national industrial safety framework with a focus on building safety and better protection for workers. government minister say committees have been set up to review labor laws, civil society groups, 8 smaller factories that make up the bulk of the industrial sector often failed to carry out routine safety checks. ah, less bring in our guests in darker and darker alarm was done. research

director of the center for policy dialog thinktank, together with the international labor organization, the organize, the 1st industrial safety forum. last month in brussels. ben van pepper strata senior legal advisor, the europeans center for constitutional and human rights. and your london, stephanie cut and general secretary of the international transport workers federation. it has 15 affiliated unions in bangladesh. welcome to the program from docker, i mean from pass incidence. could this be another act of negligence and poor safety procedures? i think you are. i did that, this is one of the reflection of lack of governance in case of the, in this just safety point of view. one with dish has over the last one begin has made improvement in this for safety and the regimen carbon sector, which is a major ex or products, but similar kind sofa as in esther safety haven't yet actually insured for non

regimen garment air products and chemical industries. and because of that, the stance of incidence happened in bangladesh. so we need to actually anal pink offer improvement, all the industrial safety, not only on the one sector but across the board for all. busy important safety concern related sectors and industries. ben, i'm in on paper. the government will tell you've made some progress. when you look at this particular incident, 4000 containers stored in our depot. and then some of those containers have chemical substances that helped spread the fire. the, the, the fire fighters were struggling to contain the fire. you don't, you don't get a sense whatsoever. they have really learned a great deal from past incidence, which really concur with that on paper bangladesh. old, a stellar fire and building safety regulations in the country on paper are up to

the march. they align with international standards on fire and building safety. but the problem is that the regulations remain paper tiger. because the problem is really in the enforcement. it's about the inspectorate, how many people are in the expect inspectorate? so the inspectorate also has the mandates to compels specific actions for example, closing something or temporary shifting some, some high risk areas down those that have actually enough independence. she's a v decides to inspect the real problem in bangladesh has been and still, unfortunately remains. enforcements. stephan many now are blaming small factories in the car for the incident. the have been taking place for the last 2 years. you have 15. a uni is which allocated with you.

what is the biggest concern? what is the biggest problem as far as the progress in bangladesh is concerned? thanks to sam, i think just echoing the the other commentators said, the big challenge is making sure that what's written up, both in the legislation and the guidelines about occupational health and safety are enforceable and delivered. so for us that the big concern here seems to be that containers with an identified contents, so the firefighters don't know how to stop. the nurse will see a question in the leading part of the article about is the standard good enough for, for really camera, for chemicals are highly flammable and very dangerous? so the question is, for us is enforcement transparency and how to respond? so for all of our unions, which are mostly in the transfer sector, it's all about ensuring that international standards go into bangladesh,

annoying tools, condo, i mean, the blast shook an entire neighborhood and is raising questions about the same issue that people were concerned about for many years which is the presence of chemical plans located in proximity with, with, with towns and nothing has been done about this. yes, you're right. the better over the years, this types of incidences happened in earlier. also the same kinds of incidents we observed a in the vicinity of the i'm a locality where lots of people actually stay put and but no, no major changes happen in tom sulphur relocation all these kinds. so for a for player of, of factories or a safer places as well as the dera, not all of a proper culture developed to improve the safety related compliance as in the

factories. what is unfortunate burg here is that often an incidence, this happened and after that are on government and all that. agencies that look for who is actually and a responsible for that and try to find out and try to blame each other. but the problem yet is that no such safety culture has yet to develop a in case of the industrial safety point of view here in bangladesh. so it is, it is important to create decades of the nest. yes. safety culture at the factory level. so where it is not actually look into the incidences after it after a factory has established an ace operation started. but before that when a and in, when a new factory is actually built in long dead debt on the safety related issues need to be checked in properly at registration. a license is to be actually monitored properly. so that any kind of incidence as own be actually a be reduced and dec i saw things haven't yet actually done. so need to have

a safety called yet from the very 1st knows the scenes, the establishment of the factory and then its operation. and finally, day in the, in the course of time. so the best bet kinds of content and practice need to be improved. we will, we will go now into some details about the very industry itself, the regulations, the law, the deals, the hobbyist in the past. and why was to have those problems bent? the garment industry is the backbone of the bank leather. she economy accounts for something like 80 percent of the export revenues employs more than 4000000 people. you've got it that you my think says this is the pride of the nation. the government would be looking after it. this is not the case whatsoever. so that's the stuckey, the so the rights garments are important for the exports. i wouldn't say the backbone of the and of the economy because there's also some domestic factors that

are really important. but it is really the flagship industrial sector. and it is also the flagship industrial sector, in the sense that it's where as we saw earlier and to show where a lot of these industrial accidents have happened. and where it also were plenty of opportunities to learn from and, and improve the labor inspector. it's as well as the fire and building safety inspectors. so it is an important industry of the country. it's an important industry with lots of international attention, but it's also an industry that is, that is problem with all kinds of problems where we do see that i am building safety issues are problem, but also labor rides are toward to significantly. there is a problem with limits, it's freedom of association. so workers can't trying to form, you know, their own choosing the wages are low. now we just had over, it's where we saw all kinds of workers working in even for occupational health and

safety situations, sometimes being dismissed without a safety net present. so there's all effector, unfortunately, that is run, but for problems, but also a sector which is prevalent of solutions know to be on how to build an inspector, and that is capable of actually inspecting the fire and building se of specific facilities on the one hand. and secondly, we're also compensation has already been provided, according to international vendors know to be to, to test re fire and the run a plaza disaster. so there's also so much i'm going to be taken and mainstream throughout economy from that specific sector. stephan, speaking about those solutions that's been, was talking about. so you have this industry where you have key players, the global fashion retailers, the trade unions. you have 15 uni as affiliated with with you. and then you have the factory owners and still having the same problems. do you think that this could

be their moment to talk about an independent inspection mechanism that would be overseeing all the different aspects of the, of the process to prevent such incidents in the future? thanks. that's it. there's a great question. i think for us this 1st i think we need an independent investigation. and i would encourage international observers because we need to know exactly what happened here around the plaza situation. gave us an opportunity to connect with the multi nationals those with a big reputation directly as we would say to the supply chain or to due diligence. and we think right now this is more important than ever been mentioned. it kind of it highlighted work place, occupational health and safety and kind of it highlighted the weaknesses in our political supply chains, whether it be from the manufacturing,

from the global south to the, to the global north. now we really have to look at how we're accountable and i would encourage not just the bangladesh and warranties, but also the clients of the factories that occupational health and safety authorities. and again, it's not just a bangladesh challenge to have good quality labor inspectors who influence regulations. so for us, we see in the sense of due diligence, so it could be a multinational contract the bangladesh company. what we read to understand, particularly in this instance. ready is what exactly happened and what do we need to put in place, but the battle goes on and i think that's a big question. certainly feel viewers and consumers as a whole. we all. ready want to have the best possible materials, but we've also got to understand that comes at price and bangladesh needs more investment. and we need to be able to tell the clients of the individual companies

just one point on the workers' rights and freedom of association and language that has a check of record in this space. and it's difficult to raise effective unions in very small crabtree's. so we continue to work with these are unions to have a strong relationship with government. have a tripartite model was. ready enforced by the iowa, but we do need the global employers to recognize that they have a responsibility to every worker in their supply chain. oh conductor, i'm insist of the tragedy of 2013. the have been deals to try to regulate the whole sector. the 2021 international a cause for health and safety in the textile and garment industry were, was what was widely seen as a, as a turning point. because 1st of all, it's a legally binding a pat where all the parties will be held accountable in case of

a disaster. but in this particular case, is it the, the atmosphere of impunity which has been prevailing in your country there has contributed to this tragedy. i think her buried him, it got more sick than what we observe over the decade is as some sort of a shared responsibility, both from the branch buyers point of view as well as from the suppliers end as well as on the local government, as well as international know sourcing countries and therefore a good improvement happened in terms of improvement of the workplace safety in the ready, mon gamez sector. what is unfortunate burg here is that not all the supply gains are so much strong, particularly with regard to the global supply chain. and we are very few of such an industrial which are very strong global supply chains other than the regimen gama

sector. and deck has a major problem here. i had is that we could actually create much more pressure from best supplier buyers, end to improve the in the workplace, safety and security. unfortunately, we observed that if the branch buyers and that the rational buyers has taken a major initiative from the global compliance point of view, it is rather easier for improvement of the workplace safety here. and for of, for debt point of view, the non grady mit gone, the sick that has limited abner participation all done and international. abram inspires. so there is a challenge of how he could actually em know, improve it to the local level initiatives that there are some initiatives we are currently ongoing. along with this investment development authority has taken any shape if by inspecting 5000 factories. but this is that there, but it really at a dis my elementary level, which has need to have a major, significant improvement jumps of, of, of a mo, inspecting and thereby creating

a safety framework. unless and until a safety fremont could be stablished and all responsible against this could be now brought in did. and to get a smart make responsible, it is rather difficult for from to ensure the safety at this stage. so i think at a local level initiative here. busy for the non ready montgomery sector is very, very important. franklin is the investor safety forum under the ilo, a guy that has now try to establish an industry or safety framework in the country . ben again, i have him issue with a, we're with the, with the agreements with the intention of the government. but like with this particular d of the last deal, they said that that is an entity called the gama sustainability council. the gc, the g s. c, which, which is mand data to oversee the implementation of the deal. i ensure that the workers in the garment industry operate in a very safe environment,

no warning whatsoever. i mean, you ask anyone who is dealing with the sector and who will tell you, you know, it is just a matter of time before another incident will hit again and again, that's analysis. certainly correct. because the reason that that ones run up happens, people had to resort to an international court was know to be a failure of national institutions to preventive because even before on the or even before does ring. there is also a decade of track record of industrial accidents. so even at that moment in time, and that's unfortunately now, almost 10 years ago that was a disaster in the making. and people were already seeing it coming. it was just not clear ran and in what extent. so in that sense, it's very painful to see how little has been learned. whereas all the elements

are on the table. so in each maybe the reason that the court, the international agreement between grant and international union was formed was no to me to find a form of accountability and transparency at international level. knowing that the collusion between industry interest and the government was too intense and background as to allow for an independent inspectorate year depending on the sector . we really need to maybe tailor that a bit. but the same ingredients of independence to the inspectorate accountability . transparency capacity are on the table. second, to me, everything related to unions, because mr. colton has also focused on that unions on dash, don't have a lot of space. the internet, the labor laws, full shorts to international minimum standards and already again for a few decades. and the ilo has repeatedly pointed extension on that,

and there's also repeatedly been roadmaps on how to mental labor law, how to improve labor inspectorate, etc. how to establish expansion. i safety committees though, it's really about read those things. all right, and then the 3rd pillar, the 3rd pillar is after ron plaza and does when we did manage to come up with an international compensation scheme which was aligned with iowa convention $1.00 to $1.00. so that is approved model, which is up to march. the question there was to generalize that into a national employment entry insurance that would have immediately now take started compensation ok, the victims. and that's still not on the table. so that's also planned that this ready and ready to roll out. stephen, when you look, this is, this is an economy that is recovering from the covey. 19 pandemic. 2 years ago to, i mean $2800000000.00 worth of orders was either canceled or paused. now there is

massive pressure on the workers to boost production and i think that wages safety conditions now are going to be relegated to the sidelines where all these concerns now about safety procedures. for us, the principles laid out by our colleague from the main very, very still i think it's. ready critical and we learn throughout the period, but you have to build very strong collaborations and i think it's our invitation to the bangladesh government, but also the leading brands, all those contracts. i think it's actually critical in the european union. we've seen new laws come in in france and laws in the process in germany about due diligence, and what does that mean? it means that the contract or the economic employer, the multinational lead firm, has responsibility all the way through the supply chain. now we understand the economic pressure on the bangladesh government to bring foreign currency. but of

course, it doesn't work unless you have a strong, independent in labor inspector. it doesn't work unless you have strong trade unions to represent the workers in the workplace and with an influence in the legislation . so for us, it's a critical time to reflect. this incident is one of many. something isn't working as it should do, and we need to re energize the significance stakeholders. let's be very clear. economic power of the multinational firms that needs to be brought to clay. ready to hold each and every part of the supply chain. so the manufacturing, the transportation that question here into an accountability in a very clear stand. and of course all of us in the light and a very key thank you to, to be part of that process. thank you. on the home, was them been a strata and stephan customer?
