The OHS Initiative

The OHS Initiative was built by 6 Bangladeshi workers’, womens’ and public health organizations, with support from Hesperian, MHSSN, and OHS programs at UCLA and UC Berkeley in response to the deadly 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They have developed occupational health and safety curricula in Bangla to help community trainers run workshops with workers and community members on topics such as gender-based violence and harassment and workplace safety hazards.
