Limitations of the Study

As a student of faculty of AMMT, 4th semester, MBA (PFM), this is our first

initiative for making a report on THE BANGLADESH LABOR ACT-2006; IN

CASE OF HEALTH AND HYGIENEON OVATION FASHION WEAR LTD bymeeting a survey. I was really unable to collect enough information from due to

their official restrictions. Many things were so confidential that I was not entitled to

access there. Beside this we have faced the following hindrances in preparing this

report:

Lack of knowledge and experience

Short of time

Lack of computer facilities

Lack of sufficient privileges

Lack of communication facilities

The survey report focuses onTHE BANGLADESH LABOR ACT-2006; IN CASE

2006 is to consolidate and amend the existing loss relating to labor and industrial

affairs. The Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 provides some provisions in sections

Definition of Labor Law

Labor Law is designed to control and govern the continuous process by which

workers and management decide the terms and conditions of employment. It is

based almost entirely on statutes passed by the parliament during last seventy years.

Labor Law regulates matters such as, labor employment, remunerations, condition

of works, trade unions and labor management relations. It also indicates that the

rules and regulations which cope with employees right to join trade union, In

particular, benefits of workers, conditions of level, especially maternity leave for

women workers, social security for workers, and social security for workers.

However, Labor Law is the study of a tripartite industrial relationship between

worker, employer and trade union. This involves collective bargaining regulation,

and the right to strike. Individual employment Law referred to workplace rights,

such as health and safety or minimum wage.

Objectives of the Bangladesh Labor Act

The main purpose of the Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 is to consolidate and amend

the existing loss relating to labor and industrial affairs. The other objective of the

Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 are to appoint labor, to increase relationship between

labor and employers, to satisfy the lowest wages of the labor, to discourages wages,

to compensate for the ulcerating the labor, to form of the trade unions, to regulate

the relations of any differences or disputes arising between labor and employers to

protect the social security of the labor including health, safety and welfare. Labor

Law encourages and promotes those purposes by pacing statutory limitation on

employer interferences with the right of employees with self organizations and

barging collectivity and because union, too, may abuse their power, Labor Law also

acts to curb and control union activities.

pharmaceutical group in Bangladesh who maintaining their production activities

through more than 300 labors. They are committed to ensuring their business

practices to meet high standards. They believe that it is only possible when their

employee and labors works hard in a team. In present competitive and dynamic


20/36

20

environment, labors are now being viewed as the most valuable means for gaining

advantages over others.

For keeping the internal environment clean and pure OFWL is always committed.

Side by side for makes our environment free form pollution it follows differentstrategies which are really necessary for the workers such as-

OFWLs production house designed by Korean Construction Group named Holkin

Hun Ltd. They constructed all the production unit with all modern facilities. As a

result the total construction system is maintain here as a world class standard.

So the internal draining systems for rubbish, filth, debris or byproduct are

disposing in here as a world class standard. Most of byproduct are automatically

fall into a big boll and their all those products are automatically take the new formof some row product of further production and some are goes for final disposal.

But the total process is depending upon the category of the medicine.

For preparing the cover of capsule the bone powder are used and some after end of

the production process some of this product is take as the form of harmful

byproduct and those byproduct are buried to the ground so that it will to pollute the

environment.

Basically one day interval all the drain, privy or other nuisance are washed by the

sweeper. OFWL is always concern about health and hygiene issue of workers.

So they are always tried to keep their internal drain net and clean.

Through our observation we found that OFWL repainted or varnished their

production plants inside wall, partitions, all ceilings or top of the room and walls

when it necessary. Basically on an average its inside walls are varnished after

tow years interval.

So we found that, the internal draining system in here is mostly automatic and as a

result the chance of fall in diseases or harm is quite lower.

Rules Regarding Ventilation and Temperature

The Bangladesh Labor Act makes suitable and effective provisions for adequate

ventilation and temperature. A reasonable temperature must be maintained. Each

work room must adequately ventilated by circulation of fresh air. Se4ction 52 of theAct calls for proper ventilation in work place where injurious, poisonous or

such establishment. The following outlines of the ventilation and temperature

provisions of Labor Act are given bellow

Effective measure shall be undertaken in every establishment for securing

and maintaining in every work-room adequate ventilation by the circulation

of fresh air.

Temperature in every room shall be kept in such as will ensure to workers

therein reasonable conditions of comfort and prevent injury to health.

Where the nature of the work carried on in an establishment involves, or is

likely to involves, the production of excessively high temperature, such

adequate measures as are practicable shall be taken to protect the workers

there from by separating the process which produces such temperature from

the work-room by insulating the hot parts or by other effective means.

If it appears to the government that in any establishment or class or

description of establishment excessively high temperature can be reduced by

such methods as white-washing, spraying or insulating and screening outside

walls or roofs or windows or by raising the level of the roofs, or by

insulating the roofs either by an air space and double or by the use of

insulating roof materials, or by other methods, it may prescribed such of

those or other methods to be adopted in the establishment.

Analysis of Ventilation and Temperature in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

For preparing medicine every production process need to go through cool and high

temperate condition. It is depend upon the category of the medicine. According to

our observation we found that, in production house the ventilation system is well

equipped and maintaining a good standard.


22/36

22

In each production unit 20 ventilators are arranged for controlling the temperature

of 120 labors.

Big size 8windows are also attracted with it.

In some vital production unit where it is not possible to control temperature

because of hot condition, in this situation air cooler system provided. This type of

production in OFWL is four in number.

16 cooling fan are arranged in the top wall of each production unit wall. Its

importance is high for controlling internal temperature of the production room.

Air-freshener are two times provided for keep the labor free form medicine smell.

Both management and labor are satisfied with the internal ventilation system of

OFWL. OFWL believes that for getting optimum product form the labor there is no

way to provide full satisfaction to the labor.

Rules Regarding Protection from Dust and Fume

The Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 provides provision for removing any dust or

fumes from the workplace which may be injurious to workers under section 53. The

following outlines of the dust and fume provisions of Labor Act are given bellow

24/36

24

process carried on therein. In the case of factory situated in a place when no public

sewerage system exists, prior approval of the arrangements made for the disposal of

the waste and effluent shall be obtained from the chief inspector who shall act in

this behalf in consulting with Directorate of Health Services.

Analysis of Waste Disposal Services in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

According to our observation we found that OFWL is always concern about

effective arrangement for every disposal of wastes and effluents due to the

manufacturing process carried on therein.

For general disposal of harmful wastes and byproduct OFWL use modern refining

system. Under this system a big boll is used for refining the waste primarily. Then

the refine goods a portion are gone to the further production according to thecategory of medicine. The final wastes are buried on the ground as taking the

concern of Chief Inspector of the Directorate of Health service.

For example, for preparing the cover of capsule it is needed to use bone powder.

After the end of the production waste of byproduct are buried to the ground.

Rules Regarding Artificial Humidification

Artificial humidification means the introduction of moisture into the air of a room

by any artificial means whatsoever, except the unavoidable escape of steam or

water vapour into the atmosphere directly due to a manufacturing process. Section

55 of the Bangladesh Labor Act provides the following provisions regarding

artificial humidification

In any establishment in which the humidity of the air is artificially increased, the

water used of the purpose shall be taken from a public supply, other source of

drinking water, or shall be effectively purified before it is so used.

If it appears to an Inspector that the water used in a factory for increasing

humidity which is required to be effectively purified under sub-section (1) is not

effectively purified, he may serve on the employer an order in writing,

specifying the measures which, in his option, should be adopted, and requiring

them to be carried out before a specified date.


25/36

25

Analysis of Artificial Humidification in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

For the production of the medicine it is need to control humidity of air according to

the categories of the medicine.

According to our observation we found that a good number of labor are take place

in such condition, where the humidity of the air is artificially controlled.

OFWL uses pure filter water for increasing the humidity of air.

OFWL uses their filter machine for filter the water. This machine is purchase

form Korea and it is able to filtered sufficient water for both drinking and

increasing humidity.

So we found that increasing humidity OFWL uses the filtered water which isnaturally good for the health. They believe that when the labors are in fitted health

and in satisfied mind then production will automatically increase by them.

Rules Regarding Overcrowding

The Labor Act prevents overcrowding by maintaining a specific cubic area for eachworker in any establishment.

No work-room in any establishment shall be overcrowded to an extent injurious

to the death of the workers employed in any work place.

At least 9.5 cubic meter of space for every worker employed in a work-room shall

be provided, but no account shall be taken of a space which is more than 4.5

meter above level of the floor of the room.

Analysis of Overcrowding Situation in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

We in found in OFWL three production units are operate for producing differentcategory of medicine.

First unit is generally joint product unit, where common medicines row material are

provided in accumulated way and 120 labors are working here for running the

production system smoothly.


26/36

26

Second unit are totally segregated from first unit. Here the raw materials of the first

unit are transferred to this unit through internal channel system. For running the

system smoothly here works 120 labors also. Humidity, hot temperature, or cooling

situation is controlled in this unit.

Last unit is the finishing unit, where medicines are getting the shape and other

further task are done. For running the task of finishing unit 60 workers are work

here.

Management said that, appropriate (9.5 cubic meter) space is provided to the labor

for running their work. But in some time it will change according to the demand of

time.

But we found the variation between the speech of management and labor. Labor

claims that, most of the time they work in crowding place. Though this production

unit has the capacity of 120 labors but some time they work in here more then 150 to

170 workers in a very narrow space. According to our observation we think that

management does this because their fixed costs are fixed.

Rules Regarding Lighting

Sufficient and suitable lighting must be maintained in every part of an establishment in

which person are working or passing. As long as workers are present in an

establishment, the latrines, passages, stairs, hoists, ground and all other parts of the

establishment in so far as the entrance of the said places is not close, must be lighted in

such manner that safety and comfort to work are fully secured.

In every part of an establishment where workers are working or passing, there shall

provided and maintained sufficient and suitable lighting, natural or artificial, or

both.

Windows and skylight must be kept in clean. In every establishment all glazed

windows and skylight use for the lighting of the work-room shall be kept clean on

both the outer and inner surfaces and free form obstruction as far as possible. In

every establishment effective provisions shall be made for the prevention of glare

either directly from any source of light or by reflection form a smooth or polished


27/36

27

surface, and the formation of shadow to such and extend as to cause eyestrain or

risk of accident to any worker.

Analysis of Lighting System in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

OFWL always committed to provide suitable light in every part of an establishment inwhich labors are working or passing.

Each production house obtain sufficient light by both natural and artificially.

OFWL management believes that health, hygienic and lighten work unit the labor

more energetic for doing their work. So they are always concern about the lightening

system of production house.

The way of movement, corridor, pass way are also provided sufficient light.

Every week the glass of the windows are make clean for the purpose of get sufficient

light.

But their found some variation between the management and the labor speech about

wash of the windows, they claimed that windows are cleaned one time in a month or

sometime above it.

Rules Regarding Drinking Water

The Bangladesh Labor Act makes suitable arrangement to provide clean drinking water

conveniently situated for all workers by section 58.

In every establishment effective arrangement should be made sufficient supply of

wholesome pure drinking water and maintain at a suitable point conveniently

situated for all worker employed there in.

All such points shall be glibly marked Drinking Water in Bengali language.

Provision shall be made for cooling the drinking water during the hot weather by

effective means and for distribution of every establishment where in more than

two hundred fifty workers is ordinarily employed.


28/36

28

Effective0 arrangement shall be made for oral dehydration therapy for those

workers who may loss water from their bodies for working near or around

machineries producing excessive hits, and

In addition, in every establishment and arrangement of drinking water for every is

to be provided free of charge.

Analysis of Drinking water in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

It is the right of the labor to het the pure drinking water at the time of production

process. Here we found that OFWL is also trying to maintain the standard as well.

OFWL provide sufficient pure drinking water to the labor at the time of

production.

Working in temperate and in the time of hot weather, sufficient both cool and

normal water are provided to the labor and the labor can take according to their

choice.

The worker who may lose water from their bodies for working near or around the

machine, they are provided oral- saline with the cool pure drinking water.

But there found variation, the labor who are associated with heavy machine will not

always get oral-saline. Some time the amount of such saline is not sufficient,

claimed by the heavy machine operator.

The pure drinking water are provided to the labor without any cost.

Rules Regarding Latrines and Urinals

Sufficient and suitable sanitary convenience must be provided, wit separate

accumulation where persons are both sexes are employed. The convenience must be

kept clean and well-lit and ventilated. Section 59 of the Act stipulates the following

provision regarding latrine and urinals.

In every establishment, sufficient latrines and urinals of prescribed types shall be

provided conveniently situated and accessible to workers at all times while they

are in the establishment.


29/36

29

In every establishment, enclosed latrines and urinals shall be provided separately

for male and female workers.

In every establishment, such latrines and urinals shall be adequately lighted,ventilated and supplied with water all time.

In every establishment, such latrines and urinals shall be maintain in a clean and

sanitary condition at all the times with suitable detergent or disinfectants or with

both.

Analysis of Latrines and Urinals in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

At the beginning of the set of the production unit OFWL is highly concern about the

suitable and sufficient sanitary system. For such they provided for their labor a good

number of hygienic latrines and urinals.

Each production unit have 120 labor and separate male and female latrines and

urinals are associated with each production unit for them.

OFWL provide 16 urinals of which 8 for male and the other8 for female. Here

form 10 latrines 5 for male and other 5 for female in each production house

which contain 120 labors.

According to the management of the OFWL, every day the urinals are keep washand the latrines are wash in every one day interval.

But the labor claimed that urinals and latrines are not wash timely and in a week the

number of washing is not more than two times.

Rules Regarding Spittoons

According to the section 60 of the Act, in establishment there shall be provided, at

convenient places, a sufficient number spittoons which shall be maintained in a

clean and hygienic condition. No person shall spit within the premises an

establishment except in the spittoons provided for the purpose. A notice continue

this provision and the violation of this provision shall amount to punishable offence

shall be prominently displayed at suitable places in the premises.


30/36

30

Analysis of Spittoons in Ovation fashion wear Ltd

Spit is a toxic thing and become create diseases for the human body, so for maintain

a clear and hygienic condition OFWL provides a good number of spittoons.

Spit within production house is hardly forbidden but it is not taken a punishable

offence in here.

No, notice is provided in this regard to the labor for spit in the ground of the

production unit.

Basically no amount is charge form the labor because in here it is not taken as

punishable offence. But sometime management especially advice the labor to

keep out form do so.

Over all Analysis on Ovation fashion wear Ltd

According to the rule of Bangladesh Government, the health and hygienic in the

commercial and industrial establishment is recognized as a subject of fundamentalimportance. Through our survey we found that OFWL is successfully controlling

the labor by providing the satisfaction in different stage of production.OFWL

consider that fitted body is the first requirement of a labor to work in a production

room smoothly.

Cleanliness is highly needed for the health and hygienic of the workers. So OFWL

regularly washes the rubbish, filth or debris in a regular manner. They also

varnished the production room timely. In case of ventilation system of productionOFWL uses a good number of modern equipped cooling fan, ventilator etc. which

keep the labor free form high temperature. Dust and wastes are regularly disposed

in the selective manner of Act. The byproducts of medicine are refined for further

production and the final disposal are buried to the ground. OFWL believes for

psychological satisfaction, it is needed to provide enough light in their work place

as well as in the way of movement. For drinking OFWL provide filter water without

any cost. Cool and normal water are provided in the hot weather condition whichmake labor more satisfied and keep them more time in work. A good number of

latrines and urinals are provided both for separately for male and female worker.

Spit in open place is bad habit and also harmful for health. So inside the production

unit sufficient numbers of spittoons are provided.

Moreover OFWL has some dissatisfaction in some sector such as- some time for the

negligence of sweeper this sweeping system is hampered. OFWL sometime fails to

maintain the specific space for the worker. As a result a huge number of worker are

work in a production room in a crowding situation. OFWL cannot take spit in

production house as a punishable offence but it should be needed to consider as a

punishable offence and in this regard it should need to provide notice to the labor.

In over all sense we can recommend that though OFWL has some limitation in

some sector. Above it, it is now maintaining a good standard in its health and

hygiene sector of labor. OFWL always believes that skill labors are their assets and

the labors are worked properly only when they are fitted and energetic to do so.

Recommendation

Ovation fashion wear Ltd always committed to continuous development of the

human recourse through appropriate training and motivation. Launching new well

equipped modern plant and machinery they try to increase the production by

satisfying the internal labors. A labor works with his full ability when he is satisfied

about the facility of the management.

OFWL is highly professionally managed organization and they are maintainingalmost the same standard which the Bangladesh Labor Act said. For providing the

health and hygiene satisfaction appropriately, they are committed to keep the

standard in most of the sector. Such as- cleanliness, ventilation and temperature,

disposal of wastes, lighting, drinking water, latrines and urinals, spittoons etc.

However it also has some major problem in some of its sector. Such as-

They should need to have more consciousness about the cleanliness of thewall and top roof of the production house, because sometime thenegligence of the sweeper the cleanliness system is hampered.

Drain should need to wash in timely when is needed. They should need to establish the modern roof air space system, which

will be provided more satisfactory condition in both ventilation and

lighting system.

Sometime they are very let in dispose of the waste or be slow in disposingprocess, which will be sometime harmful for the health and hygieniccondition of the labor.

Overcrowding is the most well known and prime problem in Ovationfashion wear Ltd. So the management should need to do something

permanently in this regarded.

Spit is a very bad habit and become harmful for health. So it is need totake as a punishable offence within the production unit.
