The Labour Reform Commission has recommended the formation of a committee comprising the government, employers, workers and experts to formulate and implement single and sector-based national standards for occupational health and safety of workers in line with international standards.
The reform commission submitted its report to the Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the State Guest House Jamuna on Monday last.
In the report, it suggested maintaining national and international standards of safety in the workplace, identifying hazard processes and inclusion of environmental issues.
It also recommended introducing safety management policies and implementing those policies in each factory.
The commission suggested updating checklists on chemical and waste management, environmental risks and hazardous work and publishing those on the website of the relevant ministries.
