Rana Plaza collapse is one of the major man-made disasters in the history of Bangladesh. In this disaster
we lost 1200 hundred people. It was one of the most worse industrial (garments) accidents in the of the
world. After this disaster government found many vulnerable and risky building and also take
government serious steps. But not enough to prevent such types of massive disaster. After this disaster
government, foreign partners (buyers), various types of stakeholders, INGO and NGO have taken many
steps to stop such types of massive disaster. Government takes some policy for safe and work friendly
environment for worker but still not implement properly. For my research I found some core things that
are main responsible for this types of disaster such as failure of government, political dimension of the
crisis, competitive pursue of globalization, injustice of global economic order. but now scenarios are
changed government takes multi-disciplinary action and coordination between labor and owner and also
introduced some essential Laws like trade union, worker salary scales and other facilities. Government
gives more power to labor ministry to observe those situation properly. My outcome of this research
paper in Rana Plaza victims rehabilitating process, reemployment process, building safety and security
process, responsible organizations, investigation report and undertaking legal action against Rana Plaza.
