The document analyzes safety and hygiene issues at Parul Plastic and Rubber Industries based on Bangladesh's 2006 labor law. It finds that while the factory's building structure is safe, there are issues with ventilation, waste disposal, protective equipment, drinking water access, electrical safety, and fire safety that do not meet the country's labor standards. Recommendations include installing safety systems, providing proper protective clothing and drinking water, cleaning machine rooms, and addressing electrical hazards to improve worker health, hygiene and safety at the factory.
