dc.description.abstractHealth & Safety (H&S) training is one of the vital issues for an employee, organization, and the society at large. Effective evaluation of training programs ensures good governance and global standard H&S practice. Industrial catastrophe like Rana Plaza is an eye opening instance for this industry to rectify the previous malpractices related to H&S issue. This study evaluates the performance of H&S training programs considering the opinion of 200 RMG workers of 10 factories located outside the export processing zone of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Findings of the study were also validated through the opinions of ten experts in the field of H&S. From the study it is revealed that the sample RMG factories made a significant progress in maintaining the regularity of H&S training program and the workers felt engaged at the time of training. Overall learning of the workers is found good in terms of comprehension and competency. The sample RMGs are still struggling to arrange and maintain a good training environment for their workers. Recommendations like hiring ex civil defense professionals as trainer and arranging modern training materials and equipment were emphasized to overcome the limitations of H&S training programs.
