Workers rights as an employee to work in a safe and healthy
environment are given by law and generally can't be changed or
removed by employer. The most important of these rights are:

properly controlled
to be provided with any personal protective and safety equipment free of
charge.
To stop work and leave work area, without being disciplined if workers
have reasonable concerns about their safety.
To tell the employer about any health and safety concerns they have.
not to be disciplined if they contact the Health and Safety Executive for
Northern Ireland (HSENI), or their local authority, if the employer won't
listen to their concerns.
To have rest breaks during the working day.
To have time off from work during the working week.

4. What can we do for safety and health for the
workers
If we want to make a garments or factory, we should think about the safety &
health of workers .Like………………..
 At first we should choose a land where the transport system is quite good.
 Then we must think about the water source and hospital .
 We have to be capable of giving them a salary by which they can lead their life
in a good way.
 We should ensure the safety of the workplace .
 For their refreshment we can give an hour break to them.
 Another important thing that we have to make sure there is enough number of
toilets for the workers . There should be 1 toilet for 12 workers.
 For emergency we must have the arrangements of the first aid, emergency
alart switch , fire point and ambulance.
