REMEDIATION COORDINATION CELL (RCC)

for Bangladesh RMG Industry

Following the Rana Plaza collapse in April 2013 the immediate priority was to inspect all of
Bangladesh’s export-oriented garment factories for structural, fire and electrical safety.

Two groups, the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety and the Alliance for
Bangladesh Worker Safety inspected factories from which their members source garments.

The remaining factories were assessed by a National Initiative supported by the


International Labour Organization with funding from Canada, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom.

With the completion of inspections in December 2015 emphasis switched to remediation.


Factory owners are now required to carry out remediation based on the findings of the
inspection reports.

A Remediation Coordination Cell (RCC) will verify that this work has been completed for
garment factories under the National Initiative.
