The Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE) filed a total of 1,429 cases in the fiscal year 2018-19.
Of them, 844 cases have been settled during the period, the DIFE revealed.
The DIFE is working relentlessly to ensure a safe working environment in factories, shops and establishments as per Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 and Bangladesh Labor Rules, 2015.
To enforce the law, the DIFE regularly inspects the factories or establishments on the spot and identifies the violations of labor laws and regulations. It also issues notices to factories and establishments authorities stating the time for their rectification.
If they are reluctant to follow the notices as per the scheduled time, then subsequent summon is issued to this end.
The DIFE also gave the advice to the factory owners or management or concerned authorities from time to time to make them aware of safety and other issues.
After that cases were filed with the labor courts against the concerned factories and organisations for their violation.
