Workplace environment of Arunima Sportswear LTD (Rising Group)

Abstract

The study was aimed at exploring the workplace environment of Rising Groups’ Arunima Sportswear LTD. Due to the last few tragic incidents in RMG sector of Bangladesh the industry is facing much challenge and pressure from the international world and buyers of products. Maintaining an international safety standard has now become a mandatory thing for RMG sector of Bangladesh if it wants to exist as one of the largest suppliers of readymade garments in the globe. This study was an attempt to understand whether the safety issues were addressed or not and how is the workplace environment is in the RMG sector. For this purpose, I observed the working environment in the Arunima Sportswear LTD while working as an intern in this organization. In addition, I interviewed some random number of workers so that I could get an insight about how they perceive their working environment. I observed the organization in terms of compliance issues. To explain, whether there is strong infrastructure or not, whether there is enough medical support facilities or not, is the working environment harmful for workers health or not, whether there is any participation from the workers side in the safety committee or not etc. In spite of the busy working schedule I roamed around from production floor to floor so that I could get a vivid idea of how actually the working condition is. I also reviewed relevant Secondary literature to get in depth idea of the working condition in RMG industry. In the very beginning of the report I started with organization overview. Then I provided objective and rationale of the report. I also provided related literature review. After that I provided my findings. Lastly, I provided recommendation to the government as well as to the organization on how to make working environment up to the standard and ensure highest safety for the workers.
