Prevention is always better than cure!

For the collection of accident-related data, the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) through the Bangladesh Labour Act and the Bangladesh Labour Rules has obliged factories and establishments to report accidents occurring in the workplace. The analysis of workplace accident data will provide valuable insights into the root causes of accidents and identify patterns and trends that can help organizations implement effective prevention strategies. By knowing about types and frequency of accidents as well as contributing factors, organizations can identify areas for improvement and implement targeted safety measures and training programs to reduce the risk of future accidents. Additionally, ongoing monitoring and analysis of workplace accidents can help organizations track their progress in reducing accidents and make further improvements to their safety programs.

Since January 2023, the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE) has made it easier for factories to report on accidents by utilizing a digital tool. Factories now have the possibility to digitally report accidents through the Labour Information Management System (LIMA). In order to report accidents via LIMA, factories need to first register with the system and navigate to the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) module. A detailed tutorial on LIMA’s OSH module can be found here:
