Abstract

International efforts to improve occupational safety and health (OSH) in garment suppliers in developing countries have so far had little impact. External pressure from international buyers and multi-stakeholder initiatives tends to result in window-dressing changes decoupled from OSH practice on the shop floor. Experience from interventions in the garment industry in Bangladesh shows that using lean as a tool to integrate OSH with productivity can create considerable improvements, and thereby offers prospects for new strategies to secure safety and health in the garment industry in emerging economies.
