Abstract

The plastic industry of Bangladesh constitutes 1 per cent of the GDP and generates USD 166.25 million in exports. However, the industry is grappling with significant Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) challenges, including structural issues, substandard conditions, and a reliance on complex machinery, resulting in workplace hazards like fire, chemical exposure, and electrical risks. The study reveals critical gaps in OSH practices, indicating the need for a comprehensive approach to address the unique challenges the sector is witnessing.
