“Legal Support Programme” Launches
 
 

Home
 
Bangladesh Occupational Safety, Health and Environment Foundation (OSHE) finally, as part of the one of its scope of functions, has started legal support programme for the workplace accidents victims or its dependants. As part of the process, OSHE initially sorts out the related workplace death or injury from fifteen daily national newspapers and then refers it to the Ain-O-Salish Kendra (ASK) for investigation.

After contacting with the victim’s dependants (for death cases) or the injured workers, if they wish to take legal support with the object of obtaining legal compensation, OSHE refers the victim’s dependants or the injured workers to the Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) who is responsible for taking all sorts of legal proceedings to obtain the compensation either from the employer or the court, if requires. More interestingly, already two cases relating to obtaining compensation have been referred to the BLAST.
