Abstract

Chemical-related accidents in Bangladesh have significantly increased in recent years (2014 onwards). The majority of these accidents are related to industrial and commercial activities which indicates that industrial safety concerning hazardous chemicals is not an issue involving ICDs only; rather the safety concerns are exposed across the value chain of these chemical products. Bangladesh is gradually being industrialised, which means that it will have to deal with a greater quantity of chemical and hazardous goods. As a result, safety concerns about dangerous chemicals must be prioritised. In this context, a policy brief has been prepared where it has been recommended that besides monitoring and overseeing institutions in order to reform their inspection protocols, assurance of safety at every stage as well as coordination between relevant authorities and the coordination committee’s operation must be regular and effective. This policy brief is prepared under the study titled "Growth and Decent Employment in RMG and Non-RMG Industries: A UNGPs Perspective".
