The Need for Workplace Safety and Health in Garment Manufacturing

The garment industry is labor-intensive and often involves extended working hours, large-scale industrial operations, chemically intensive processes, and physical hazards. Workers often face risks such as:

• Exposure to chemicals, dyes, and solvents
• Fire hazards, especially in factories with inadequate preventive measures
• Ergonomic issues leading to musculoskeletal disorders from repetitive tasks
• Dust and fiber-related respiratory concerns
• Injuries from machinery and equipment
• Psychological stress due to workload, poor conditions, or lack of safety culture

Tragic industrial accidents in garment factories across the globe have highlighted the urgent need for rigorous safety practices and compliance with occupational health standards. Beyond legal obligations, ensuring a safe workplace also boosts morale, reduces absenteeism, enhances efficiency, and contributes positively to brand reputation and customer trust.

This course addresses these concerns systematically and equips participants with practical knowledge and tools to create safer, healthier, and more compliant workplaces within the garment and textile industry.
