BUET teams find 2 RMG units risky

BUET teams, out of their assessed 200 units, have identified two garment factories risky in terms of structural integrity, sources involved with the process said.
The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) teams Wednesday submitted their revised reports to the authority concerned. The reports included findings on structural integrity of 200 units and fire and electrical ones of 100.
They submitted reports of 50 units last month, where no building was identified as red.
BUET teams assessed about 252 garment units under a joint programme of the government and the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Under it BUET teams are expected to asses about 1,300 factories that remain outside the purview of the Accord and the Alliance.
Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE) Deputy Inspector General Mashiur Rahmand confirmed that they received the BUET reports.
 "Out of the 200 factories, the teams marked two garment units risky, and urged the review committee to take necessary actions," a source involved with the inspection process told the FE Wednesday.
