Most of the nation's 4,500 factories are concentrated around the capital city named Dhaka and attract thousands of rural residents in search of jobs and a better life for their families. These factories are not well designed in terms of workers' health and safety. A field study was held about the health and safety of workers in the factory in Bangladesh.
