Abstract :

The garment industry plays a pivotal role in global economies, offering employment to millions, yet it is often associated with hazardous working conditions that threaten worker health and safety. This study aims to assess the current health and safety measures in garment factories, with a focus on understanding their impact on worker well-being, productivity, and overall organizational performance. The research employs a quantitative design, utilizing a structured questionnaire comprising over 20 questions to gather primary data from a stratified random sample of 100 employees across various departments of a garment factory with a total workforce of 200. Secondary data has also been reviewed from journals, magazines, and reputable websites to support the findings.The objectives of the study include evaluating the effectiveness of existing safety measures, exploring their correlation with worker satisfaction and performance, and identifying best practices for creating safer work environments. Key focus areas include training programs, risk assessments, emergency preparedness, and employee perceptions of safety. While the study provides valuable insights, it is limited by a small sample size, potential cultural and linguistic barriers, and time and resource constraints. Despite these limitations, the findings aim to contribute to academic literature, inform policy-making, and raise awareness about the importance of occupational health and safety in the garment sector. The ultimate goal is to promote improved working conditions and advocate for the implementation of effective health and safety measures in garment factories.
