The Bangladesh Investment Development Authority on Tuesday urged all officials not to create any panic during the inspection of domestic factories.

"We just want to ensure a safe workplace in factories for workers. We would like to support factory owners to make their factories as decent ones...so, don't create any panic during the inspection," BIDA Executive Chairman Md Sirazul Islam said while addressing a workshop for observers at BIDA office in the city.

The workshop was arranged for integrated inspection and observation teams to prevent fire accidents and ensure a safe workplace in factory, industry and trade organisations.

Earlier, a joint team of government and private authorities, led by the BIDA, was formed to inspect the local factories.

The team will observe the factories’ checklists, licences, designs, record registration and certificates. The factories will be notified at least three days before the inspection.

During the inspection, the team will observe infrastructure and other existing accident elimination systems in the companies and make necessary recommendations to ensure a safe working environment.
