Workplace Safety

COURSE OVERVIEW

 Nowadays safety is the paramount importance for organizations. Any incident/accident due to unsafe conditions or unsafe acts may be done irreparable damage to organizational reputation as well as business.

According to ILO, it is estimated that over 11,000 workers suffer fatal accidents and a further 24,500 die from work-related diseases across all sectors each year in Bangladesh. It is also estimated that a further 8 million workers suffer injuries at work – many of which result in permanent disability. Although little research has taken place in Bangladesh, it is internationally recognized that most occupational deaths and injuries are entirely preventable, and could be avoided if employers and workers took simple initiatives to reduce hazards and risks at the workplace.
