Abstract :
The ready-made garment sector in
Bangladesh holds significant importance as the highest
foreign currency earning sector. However, ensuring
occupational health and safety within this industry has
become a global priority due to past accidents and
incidents. While several theoretical studies have
identified occupational risk factors in the garment
industry, most of these have solely focused on listing
these factors without a comprehensive analysis. In
reality, each risk factor must be individually assessed
within the specific industry, necessitating close
collaboration with employees working in that
environment. Addressing these concerns, our research
proposes a systematic process to quantitatively evaluate
occupational risks and offer solutions for existing risks in
the garment industry. To achieve this, we employed the
AHP approach to estimate the impact of risk factors and
adopted the GRA method to identify critical alternatives
associated with these risks. By selecting and assessing
five evaluation criteria and twelve risk factors, our
research aims to effectively support the garment
industry by identifying the most influential risk factors
and proposing initiatives to address these challenges
appropriately.
