The role of women is important in the debate as some argue that the textile industry has been an important means of economic security for women while others focus on the fact that women are disproportionately textile workers and thus are disproportionately victims of such accidents.

Many textile factories in Bangladesh often compromise worker health and safety because of the tough pressure from the ordering companies to make tight deadlines. Management will often push workers in order to ensure that an order is fulfilled. This poses a problem as workers have almost no avenues with which to file a complaint. Almost none of the factories have any sort of human resources department and local officials often turn a blind eye to violations.<a href="#cite_note-:1-25">[25]</a> Moreover, most of these workers are poor women.

The scenario becomes worse when it comes to women workers. The female workers are exposed to different <a href="/wiki/Occupational_health_hazard" class="mw-redirect" title="Occupational health hazard">occupational health hazards</a> such as work environment hazards, physical hazards and mental hazards. The work environment hazards include long working hours, absence of leave facilities, congested and overcrowded working conditions, absence of health facilities and safety measures, absence of staff amenities, lack of safe drinking water. On the other hand, the physical hazards include exposures to toxic agents, awkward postures and repetitive motion. Exposure to sexual, verbal and psychological harassment and violence at their work places are some of the common mental health hazards. These hazards not only affect the female workers’ mental and physical being but also the quality of work and productivity of workforce nationwide.<a href="#cite_note-:18-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-:17-69">[69]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ergonomic_hazards">Ergonomic hazards</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Textile_industry_in_Bangladesh&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Ergonomic hazards">edit</a>]</div> Musculoskeletal disorders have been identified as an important concern among textile workers. These complaints are related to highly repetitive movements, awkward postures in seated positions, repetitive hand and arm movements, prolonged working hours without adequate breaks and poorly designed work stations. These risk factors result in adverse health outcomes of the workers such as musculoskeletal complaints of neck, back, hands, shoulders and lower limbs.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> Most of the female workers in garments factories work as sewing operators, sewing operator helper, cutting personnel and finishing personnel.<a href="#cite_note-:5-72">[72]</a> Sewing machines operators usually work in seated postures with forward flexion of the head, neck, and torso for long periods of time. This results in strain on the neck and back, and eventually to pain.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> A case study conducted by Habib M. among sewing machines operators in Bangladesh, found that the high risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders was related to working in a sitting position bending the neck more than 30° for more than 6 to 7 hours.<a href="#cite_note-:6-74">[74]</a> Additionally, sitting in a forward flexed posture causes the lumbar spine to flatten that leads to an imbalanced disc pressure and a static contraction of the extensor muscles of the back. The flattened lumbar spine may cause back fatigue, disc degeneration and back injuries.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> But it is not only related to posture, design of the workstation can also worsen the problem. Sarder and colleagues found that seats in garment factories were devoid of a backrest, which would allow intermittent short breaks for resting the upper body from bending.<a href="#cite_note-:7-76">[76]</a> Also, many seats are hard and wooden, without the cushion to prevent compression at the area of the <a href="/wiki/Ischial_tuberosities" class="mw-redirect" title="Ischial tuberosities">ischial tuberosities</a>. Even though some factories have sewing machines tables with height adjustability options 70 – 80 cm, workers rarely or never adjusted them because it takes between 10 and 15 minutes to adjust them. Moreover, workers experience excessive hand work that involves gripping and pinching with the arm in constrained postures which causes wrist pain. Sewing machine operators are involve in highly repetitive movements of the elbows and wrists.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a> Researchers have found that doing activities for stitching that involves wrist flexion of more than 45° wrist extension 10-12 times per minute, put the worker at higher risk of developing wrist and elbow problems.<a href="#cite_note-:6-74">[74]</a> These risk factors have a negative impact not only on the musculoskeletal health, but also on the medical cost, efficiency, and optimal performance on activities of daily living. Minimizing ergonomic risk factors through ergonomic intervention for workers is often neglected in many of the countries.<a href="#cite_note-:7-76">[76]</a> The reasons may be the scarcity of relevant professionals and additional cost for implementations on which majority of the owners are less interested. Thus, there are high rate of musculoskeletal symptoms in different body parts among sewing machine operators which points out for proper interventions. To reduce awkward posture for the neck, back and shoulders, the sewing machine table, chair and paddle positions should be adjusted considering the worker's body height in a sitting position. The workers should be educated about the significance of postures on their health so that they do not neglect the instructions.<a href="#cite_note-:17-69">[69]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Policy_and_intervention">Policy and intervention</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Textile_industry_in_Bangladesh&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Policy and intervention">edit</a>]</div> Up to the mid-1990s there was little evidence available that suggested that improvement involving ergonomics principles have been implemented in garment factories in South East Asia.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> Even though, solutions such as work surface modification and the adoption of adjustable chairs have been well documented, anecdotal information shows that there has been no improvement. The following recommendations can be implemented as solutions to reduce burden of musculoskeletal disorders among worker in the garment industries: <ol><li>Even though there are labor laws maintaining occupational health and safety, the overall standards are low due to the laxity of labor laws enforcement, and the owners not taking responsibility for maintaining and optimizing working conditions. The foremost initiative is the establishment of the policies in the garments factories and monitor them by a committee represented by both employers and employee.<a href="#cite_note-:5-72">[72]</a><a href="#cite_note-:6-74">[74]</a><a href="#cite_note-:8-79">[79]</a></li> <li>Promoting ergonomic practices at the factories can be one of the way to reduce ergonomic hazards among the workers. Proper storage and handling of heavy materials can play important role to reduce musculoskeletal issues. This intervention can include providing trolleys and wheeled multi-level rack to carry clothes and material (picture), reducing height difference to move materials manually, eliminating tasks requiring bending or twisting etc. This will prevent the workers to carry heavy loads manually and reduce back pains or muscle sprain.<a href="#cite_note-:8-79">[79]</a></li> <li>Workstation design is important to reduce awkward posture for the neck, back and shoulders. The sewing machine table, chair and paddle positions should be adjusted considering the worker's body height in a sitting position. Sewing machine table heights should be adjusted between 10 cm and 15 cm above elbow height for everyone. It should also have tilted 10° to 15° towards the operator and the needle at 20° backward inclination and the pedal position should be placed forward and adjusted per user's comfort. The adjustable desk height, inclined slope of the table, needle angle and the pedal position should induce a more upright position of the head, neck and trunk. Adjustment of the sewing machine table alone does not ensure good posture; adjustment of the chair is also an important factor. The chair should adjust between 51 cm and 61 cm; the backrest distance should adjust horizontally by about 5 cm and the backrest height should be fixed at 25 cm. Studies also show significant reduction of physical discomfort experienced by the sewing machine operators by changing the angle of seat pan and backrest of the chair.</li> <li>Since lack of knowledge about occupational diseases are found to be related with high musculoskeletal disorders, providing training to both employers and employees is a great way to address those issues.<a href="#cite_note-:5-72">[72]</a></li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chemical_hazards">Chemical hazards</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Textile_industry_in_Bangladesh&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Chemical hazards">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Bleaching_agents_and_azo_dyes">Bleaching agents and azo dyes</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Textile_industry_in_Bangladesh&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Bleaching agents and azo dyes">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG/220px-Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG/330px-Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG/440px-Jaket_Made_in_Bangladesh.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2304" /></a><figcaption>Bangladeshi leather industry. About 0.5 million residents of the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka are at risk of serious health issues due to chemical pollution from tanneries near their homes.</figcaption></figure> There are a wide range of chemicals utilized in textile production for dyeing and printing, which these workers can be exposed to. These chemicals include but are not limited to bleaching agents and azo dyes. Azo dyes, such as aniline and benzadine, accounting for over 50% of dyes produced annually as of 2006. This was due to their high stability in light and washing as well as resistance to microbial activity.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> The toxic effects of these dyes include hypersensitivity and irritant effects such as contact dermatitis and asthma, as well as exposure related concerns for such malignancies as bladder, nasal, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectal, nasopharyngeal and lung cancers.<a href="#cite_note-:9-81">[81]</a> Studies have postulated that hypersensitivity effects may be due to alterations in neutrophil function and sensitization, contributing to chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin and respiratory tract. Once this sensitization has occurred, an individual becomes more susceptible to developing allergic disease on subsequent contact with the offending agent.<a href="#cite_note-:9-81">[81]</a> Exposure from these chemicals typically occurs via direct contact with the skin or inhalation of dye particles. While as of 2006 there was no evidence to suggest that most dyestuffs then in use in these industries were harmful at the levels workers were generally exposed to, there was concern with long term or accidental over-exposure. This long term or excessive exposure can sensitize the worker's immune system, leading to hypersensitivity reactions such as asthma and atopic dermatitis on subsequent exposure as mentioned above. Additionally, studies have demonstrated concerns regarding exposure to textile dyes and occupational bladder cancer due to aniline dye intermediates such as beta-naphthylamine and benzidine, which has long been identified as a human urinary carcinogen.<a href="#cite_note-:9-81">[81]</a> The latency period between exposure and diagnosis has been estimated at up to 23 years.

So far, at least 25 cases have been brought to the alliance for review and four factories have officially been closed.<a href="#cite_note-:16-29">[29]</a> One of the main concerns after the crises is the structural integrity of RMG and textile factories. The Government of Bangladesh has made changes in this regard. Working with the ILO, the government has upgraded the Chief Inspector of Factories and associated Establishment office to a "department", hired additional labor, fire, and building inspectors, implemented additional training programs for inspectors, and created a database of all factories to facilitate inspections. Many factories have been inspected since these changes were made, but there are still about 1,000 factories that have not been checked either because they are not registered with any organization or they have listed the wrong address which takes time away from inspectors.<a href="#cite_note-:16-29">[29]</a> Pointing to the slow development of the regulation of this industry particularly after such a major human disaster, Dr Mia Rahim opines that Bangladesh should more focus on the challenges and opportunities of local regulation of this industry. He suggests that the RMG manufacturing and supply industry should not only depend on the prescriptions of the global buyers but also adopt a 'new governance' approach in the local regulation framework of this industry.<a href="#cite_note-:20-96">[96]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sustainability">Sustainability</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Textile_industry_in_Bangladesh&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Sustainability">edit</a>]</div> In March 2021, 10 years after their report "Bangladesh's ready-made garments landscape: the challenge of growth"<a href="#cite_note-mckinsey2011-35">[35]</a> <a href="/wiki/McKinsey_%26_Company" title="McKinsey & Company">McKinsey & Company</a> reflected on the country’s development, with the article "What’s next for Bangladesh’s garment industry, after a decade of growth?".<a href="#cite_note-:3-122">[122]</a> The consulting firm affirms Bangladesh's textile sector will need to innovate, upgrade, and diversify, investing in flexibility, worker welfare, infrastructure and <a href="/wiki/Sustainability" title="Sustainability">sustainability</a>.

Throughout the 1980s and continuing into modern day, the increase in total exports matched the increase in garment exports, indicating that this sector is responsible for a significant portion of Bangladesh's economic growth. The <a href="/wiki/European_Union" title="European Union">European Union</a> and the United States are the biggest importers of Bangladeshi garments, making up 88.6% of export destinations.<a href="#cite_note-128">[128]</a> The garment industry has been praised by many as a major contributor to poverty reduction in Bangladesh. Proponents of this view argue that entry-level wages were enough to keep workers above the local poverty line, even if they were paid much less than other textile and garment factory workers comparatively.<a href="#cite_note-129">[129]</a> The overwhelming majority of workers, about two-thirds, in the textile and garment industries of Bangladesh are women. In fact, the birth of the industry essentially created the entryway for a "whole generation of young, unmarried females, mainly from rural areas, into the industrial labor force."<a href="#cite_note-:2-24">[24]</a> Approximately 29.3% of women in this sector are illiterate and many suggest that this is a better alternative to other options they may have.<a href="#cite_note-Yunus2014p83-130">[130]</a> However, use of these women is seen as a justification for low wages (the national minimum was $37 a month before the Rana Plaza collapse).<a href="#cite_note-:0-105">[105]</a> A limitation on poverty reduction effects provided by the textile industry is the obvious work hazards associated with working in a factory. Welfare of garment workers is compromised by "long working hours, insufficient sanitation and medical facilities, dust and heat, as well as abuse and discrimination."<a href="#cite_note-Yunus2014p83-130">[130]</a> As of 2017 the industry was adopting <a href="/wiki/Greening" title="Greening">greening</a> standards.
