Mid-level management blamed for garment accidents

Labour Secretary Mikail Shipar Saturday said unskilled, mid-level officers are responsible for the accidents in garment factories.
"The accidents can be prevented through training, which will also increase productivity," he said, while speaking at a training workshop on "Bangladesh Labour Law 2006 and Industrial Relation".
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) organised the training programme at its headquarters aiming to train about 14,000 mid-level staffers of 3,200 garment factories.
State minister for labour and employment Mujibul Haque Chunnu was present at chief guest while BGMEA president Md Atiqul Islam with its other office bearers, were also present during the event.
