Introduction
Electrical Safe Work Practices including electrical safety principles, guidelines for
qualification of personnel, job planning requirements and Management and discussed
about the electrical hazards which continue to threaten safety of people and property
in the form of shocks, burns, injury, fire & explosion with electricity having become
indispensable able part of our life, electrical risks are to be managed effectively. This
can be achieved by conducting electrical safety assessment of the installation. It is
necessary to evaluate the quality of the maintenance and safety procedures utilized
within the safe work practice program.
In past, people were not aware about electrical safety issues. They were not able to
learn actual way to achieve proper knowledge regarding safety issues. Therefore, that

hazards to prevent or minimize loss of life and property is perceived seriously by
many industries the world over. At present most industries trying to comply with
safety standards start with Bangladesh Electrical rules 1937 and NFPA 70.

Company Overview
Company Description
SQ Celsius Limited is a known name and a brand itself in the clothing sector both at
the local and international stage. SQ Celsius Limited commenced business in 1993
with the flagship unit, SQ Celsius Limited which was located at Shewarapara, Mirpur,
Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Group is headquartered in Dhaka city and currently operates
02 (two) sweater manufacturing facilities: SQ Celsius Limited in Maona, Sreepur,
Gazipur and another in Bhaluka, Mymensingh.
By leveraging the fact of life of natural grouping, SQ visions to build an organization
that would thrive on its tribal culture. After all, the companys all have a common

story SQ. The story of SQ, its attitude and the way it conducts its business are part
of this segment. It's all about what they are, not what they have.
It is often the idea of challenging the status quo that powers you forward. That idea,
complemented with self-belief and a positive spirit, saw the birth of SQ in 1993.
Almost on impulse and proving the adage true - life can and does begin at forty -
Muhammad Ghulam Faruq left the comfort of his job at The World Bank/FAO to
tread the uncertain path of entrepreneurship. Armed with confidence, determination,
and the ability to think big, Faruq rented a space in Dhaka and pioneered a modern
knitwear manufacturing business with only 160 machines. SQ, which quite simply is
Superior Quality, was set on motion. The business lived this portrayal to the core, and
soon the yields that came out of it, earned standing and were favored by the high
street retailers. The drive continued and resulted in further expansion of knitwear and
accompanying yarn and piece dyeing facilities. In time, SQ ventured into much
awaited product diversification - Lingerie and Shirt.
Two decades on, Bangladesh has matured as an apparel sourcing destination and SQ
has evolved as a brand for the article. The journey carries on, bringing in the new
generation to sustain continuity.

SQ's way of life is engraved in every aspect of the business. Yes, the company want to
stand tall but never at the expense of what we believe in. To be able to tower over the
rest, they want to take the tall stance and that within itself is gratifying enough.
2.1.2 Brand
SQ is a known name and a brand itself in the clothing sector both at the local and
international stage. While products have life cycles, brands can transcend time when
managed well. The brand "SQ" is defined as a set of timeless customer benefits rather
than particular product and services. Our corporate dictate is to unceasingly innovate
and upgrade products and services to keep the brand fresh and relevant to make our
business sustainable.
Following our dictate, SQ is re-branding itself this year. We have refreshed our logo
and the look. We will now adhere to a new tagline - stand tall or naught - which is
essentially our way of life here at SQ.
A lot of effort was put into redesigning our corporate look. Starting from the colors to
the fonts, everything was revisited. We wanted to come up with something that
highlights our tagline and our way of life. The corporate look, which is everything
from our wallpaper, website, signage, billboards, communications and stationaries,
will have an identifying texture. This texture is a graphical representation of the peak
of a mountain towering over rest of the world, standing tall and proud.
2.1.3 Board
The board, steered by the founder Muhammad Ghulam Faruq, comprises the natural
team - his family. Being a family business the board is fearless in taking decisions and
emotionally honest in expressing opinions. For them, solidarity and speed is the key.
The board assesses and sets the directions of the business. It empowers the leadership
teams to build their strategic competence, set standards and defines the core values
and culture of SQ.

Comparative Discussion with
the Audit Report of ACCORD
About the Accord
The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh (the Accord) was signed on
May 15th 2013. It is a five year independent, legally binding agreement between
global brands and retailers and trade unions designed to build a safe and healthy
Bangladeshi Ready Made Garment (RMG) Industry. The agreement was created in
the immediate aftermath of the Rana Plaza building collapse that led to the death of
more than 1100 people and injured more than 2000. In June 2013, an implementation
plan was agreed leading to the incorporation of the Bangladesh Accord Foundation in
the Netherlands in October 2013.
1. A five year legally binding agreement between brands and trade unions to
ensure a safe working environment in the Bangladeshi RMG industry

problems. After completing 180 days observational research work the study express
the final result.
At summary of the comparison it should be stated that the present resolving all of the
major loopholes of the safety system. The further inspection in the company by
ACCORD had not found remarkable faults.

Conclusion
Con
clusion
In general, safety audit examines and assesses all aspects of facility including
managements policy, philosophy, processes, operating procedures, safety
organization, documentation, personal protective equipment, equipment protection
systems, safety training and motivation. It thus involves identification and
assessment of electrical hazards and offer suitable recommendations for their
elimination or minimization. It could be prepared based on various applicable
statutory and no statutory standards and codes of practice. Good engineering practice
found during other ES audits in similar installations can also be included in the
97

checklists. International standards such as IEEE and NFPA can also referred
wherever found necessary. Another important aspect in referring to various standards
is the possible confusion in reconciling a safety recommendation. The factors listed
below are to be considered while suggesting a recommendation, if contradicting
statements are mentioned in rules / standards.
Compliance to statutory requirements
Safety of the people and the plant
Non-Statutory Standards (national and international)
The experience gained by the ESA team members is a very crucial factor in the
compilation of audit checklists. Experienced and competent team members can offer
many practical, cost-effective safety suggestions and solutions.
