Safety Condition in Bangladesh
The construction industry is considered as one of the most
hazardous industrial sectors wherein the construction
workers are more prone to accidents.
In developed countries such as united kingdom and united
states of America, there is strict legal enforcement of safety in
construction industry and also in the implementation
industry and also in the implementation of safety
management systems which are designed to minimize or
eliminate accidents at work places. However, occupational
safety in construction industry is very poor in developing
countries such as Bangladesh.

2016 1240 147 486 88 87 23 34 69 44 200
According to OSHE (BD) report, there were a total of 1509 deaths in the
construction industry from 2008 to 2017- on average 150 deaths a year-
with 2017’s 179 is the highest number of deaths during the period.
“OSHE find out two most common reasons behind these deaths are falling
from a height and electrocution. “
4
Existing Health & Safety legislations in practice
Bangladesh Labour Act 2006
Bangladesh Labour Rule 2015
The constitution of Bangladesh adopted on 4th November 1972 recognizes productivity
as a basic need for economic development and covers the right to work and reasonable
wages, medical care and protection from disease and disablement. Thus it is assumed the
health and safety of industrial workers has been taken care of.
 Sections: There are 354 sections in 21 different chapters in the legal text.
 OSH: Special importance has been given on occupational health and safety and the
work environment. Out of the 354 clauses of the labour law, 78 happen to be about
the environment.
 Records: Maintenance and preservation of safety record books and introduction of
group insurances for the workers have been ensured
5
Existing health & safety legislations in practice Cont..
 SAFETY
 Fire
Section 62 deals with the provisions for measures to be taken by a factory to avoid
dangers and damage due to fire.
 Floors, stairs and means of access
Section 72 of the new labour law deals with the floors, stairs and means of access.
 Excessive Weights
Section 74 of the new labour code states that, no person shall be employed in any

OHSAS 18000 (ISO:45001)
 OHSAS 18000 is an international occupational health and safety management system specification. It comprises
two parts, 18001 and18002
 It helps: minimize risk to employees/etc; improve an existing OH&S management system; demonstrate diligence;
gain assurance; etc
 The OHSAS specification is applicable to any organization that wishes to: Establish an OH&S management
system to eliminate or minimize risk to employees and other interested parties who may be exposed to OH&S
risks associated with its activities
 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
 FALL PROTECTION
 ELECTRICAL

Definitions
 Safety is free from risk and danger.
 Accidents is defined as an unexpected and desirable
event resulting in damage or harm.
 Hazards is an unsafe condition or activity, that if left
uncontrolled can contribute to an accident.
 Risk is the assessment of ’probability of loss’ and
potential amount of loss’.

hazard.
 Basic types of PPE are Work Suit, Hard Hat, Safety
Glasses, Safety Shoes.
Cause:
 All employees must be provided with appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE)

A Safe Work Permit (SWP) is a WRITTEN document which SPECIFICALLY DEFINES THE
WORK to be done AND the SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS to be taken.

 Deep Excavation PTW
Many companies are making excavation work and entry into trenches over 4’
(Feet) deep a safe work permitting task
 Working at Heights PTW
Many companies are making “working at heights” a safe work permitting task due
to the complexity of PFAS(s)
 Lifting PTW
Many companies are making work involving cranes and aerial lifts a safe work
permitting task. Not only do these tasks come with increased risk to the
operators, but also infrastructure (e.g. live covered processes)
 Electrical PTW
Many companies are using LOTO Permits as an additional administrative controls
for the controlling of hazardous energy sources during servicing and
maintenance.
20
Permit Validity

Objectives  Safety Condition in Bangladesh  Construction Accidents in Bangladesh  Existing Health & Safety legislations in practice  Definition of Safety, accident, Hazard, & Risk  Type of Hazards  Types of accident  Type of PPEs  PTW  Reasons and benefits to improve health and safety in construction  How to improve health and safety on construction sites? 2
  • 3. Safety Condition in Bangladesh The construction industry is considered as one of the most hazardous industrial sectors wherein the construction workers are more prone to accidents. In developed countries such as united kingdom and united states of America, there is strict legal enforcement of safety in construction industry and also in the implementation industry and also in the implementation of safety management systems which are designed to minimize or eliminate accidents at work places. However, occupational safety in construction industry is very poor in developing countries such as Bangladesh. 3
